Late MX6 24V 1997.Any advice please. Not urgent as being hibernated end of this month until spring, but I've a hole in the flexy and it's blowing. Will fail the next MOT.

I think yes.

You may be able, to cut the flex out, & re place it with an ‘aftermarket market’ flexi.

Or replace the the ‘hole’ front pipe

Late or early
Has the car got ‘pre-CAT’s’

Cutting out and replacing with an after market flexi sounds an idea Dunc . I'm not sure on pre cats .
Which is easier , replacing the flexi or the whole front pipe assembly?

Or put a full set of ‘after market’ S/S header on the car
See for sale section.

Or drop me a PM

Finding a flexy is easy , the next trick is getting the bolts out of the manifold flanges intact .

Having spoken with Duncan over the weekend re this, we think the way forward is to replace the lot with a known used late front section. This will be a job for next spring now as it's hibernating over winter end of this month.
