Gday everyone.
I installed my 3inch exhaust about 6ish months ago. Manta no cat installed by my mechanic. I have not done much off road since due to work and such, but about 2-3 weeks ago I started to notice a rattle under the car. I had a look under and found that my exhaust bracket had fractured and was rubbing against itself. I had a work mate try to fix it during a lunch break by doing a quick weld but we could only get to one side of the bracket. All was good until a couple of days ago when it broke and started to rattle again. I did a quick pit stop into my mechanic and also Mr Nissman, both asked a small fortune to fix, as they said they needed to lift the transfer case a small amount to remove and replace the exhaust bracket.
Has anyone else had this same bracket fracture, and was there a cheaper option to fix or replace rather than selling a child to fund this small item.
Would I be able to use my small jack to slightly lift the transfer case enough to get the bracket out.
I hope these pics help explain.
Car goes vroom
