hi as my title suggests the tail pipe on my back box has snapped off, will it be expensive to fix and can i drive the car still? its not really affecting the engine it just shudders a tiny bit on acceleration and is noisy as you'd expect.

please help as im useless with car knowledge and dont wanna go to garage and get ripped off...


thanks in advance


*EDIT* after some googling i might be wrong about it being the back box... but to simplifiy thigs its the pipe at the very back of the car the wider peice is ok just where the rust and snapped off bit is.

It sounds like old age for your exhaust. A new one is about £200 fitted in an exhaust centre

Just get a new backbox universal about £40 or less and a good garage will refit it, shuddering as you call it shouldnt be nothing to do with it .. Unless you just mean vibrations get it looked at first shod not cost more than £150 to sort out if you use the same place really, try a local garage
