Hi all, thought my car was getting louder then did a 6 hour trip over the weekend and it suddenly got louder and deffinatly blowing somewhere. Jacked it up to find this..

Is this repairable or is a new part needed?

Thanks for any advice,

Tom

I've got a few videos of my decatted '6. I'm on tapafail so I don't have the links but they're on my project thread Smile

I love the decat, it sounds epic and it seems quicker... Don't know why! It does make my ears ring a little after a long journey though!
