Thanks for the advice. Ground clearance will be a big issue as I dont have a lift and chucking it in the garage will just result in a hefty bill. From my limited poke around underneath access looks like a complete arse along with rusty bolts!
Been mulling this over on how to get the flexi changed without disturbing the down pipe - so just sounding out the idea for comments.
Cut the flexi off at the down pipe end
Drop remaining flexi with cat.
Cut the flexi off the cat.
Weld new flexi onto cat (now I can get the mig all the way around)
Weld slip collar onto flexi (may even come with one).
Offer up cat & flexi section.
Slide slip collar over down pipe and clamp in place.
Seems achievable but wont know until I start. Whole exhaust will probably fall apart after that!
