yes, I've just had both of mine done recently at a local exhaust specialist. Mine started to blow and make a noise. It's quite common for these to go with age.
The old ones were cut out and new ones welded in. Cost me approx £220 all in. Also, if one is blowing/ damaged I would replace both at the same time this will save you money in the long run. |

BTW You need to add ACC to your signature EDIT: Just a little addition. About two hours after posting this message I remembered that the car only went through it's MOT at the start of August. Very strange that it wasn't picked up at the MOT.

Yes, find a garage that can cut it out and weld a new one in. I've just had one of mine done. Changing the exhaust is engine out I believe!
