Had to replace the front flexi section of the exhaust on my 80 just over four years ago, i went for genuine yota as i thaught it would last, wrong, iv'e got a hole as big as your thumbnail just under the flexi bit, it's not to noisey but very fumey in the car when stuck in traffic, it's done just under 20k since fitting, a mate's going to see if he can patch weld it, very dissapointed in yotas quality on this.
