i bought an x reg bravo in dec 07 with a 3 month dealer warranty, i was driving today and my back box fell off onto the road due to severe corrosion on the pipe leading into it.

having a quick glance underneath, the exhaust looks like it is a complete system and is not a bolt on cat-back backbox.

Could anyone confirm this. do you think the whole system will need replacing, or do i just need a new back box??

help!!

my car is a 1795cc, bravo slx.

Finally, as this corrosion would have been evident before i bought the car, do you think i should approach the dealer??

any advice would be appreciated! thanking you in advance!

AFAIK the exhaust is one complete system, but I've heard some places can cut the pipe to size and make an aftermarket exhaust fit - saving you from having to replace the entire system!

This might help ya

No point going to dealer. Its classed as a consumable

cat back is all one part. you can see a pic of it if you use the link inthe previous post. you can buy a cheap replacement on ebay and fit it yourself, that would be the cheapest option.
