Welding mufflers and manifolds when they crack is always a tempoary fix, if its cracked once it will do it again unless you work out why. Without seeing a picture we cant tell you if its worth the effort.

This is the reason I decided to replace the 5Zigen mid muffler (cracked around the seams) on my car with an Xforce one. I miss the old one :(

Checked a few exhaust places - it would seem that maybe it isn't a Kakimoto muffler, just a Kakimoto tip. Certainly doesn't appear to be S/S.

Anyway, one guy tacked it back together so I could refit it to the car and take it back Sat morning for a new muffler.

iv got a kakimoto cat back on my R33 and its a mild steel.

Starting to get holes in it now from age/rust. Its not worth fixing unless you have a welder at home. otherwise the cost for a place to do it would be wasted as its going to go again...

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
