My front pipe fell off!
Well as I was driving along pulling close to work, my Apex flexi s14a front pipe cracked and fell off! It was blowing a bit, and started to resonate the suddenly snapped at the flexi joint and came off! and was supposed to go to the garage! Luckily was close to work (between where I live and the garage), so pulled in (with a bit of scrapeage) and left the car to the side. Could have been on the M3/A33!
I guess there are advantages of having a flexi front pipe, takes the strain off everything else a bit and something else could have potentially cracked otherwise?!
Anyway the AA man came and picked it up, half an hour ago, he is taking it to Namelezz's garage in Basingstoke to be looked at. He said due to my membership level, he should have taken it to the nearest garage, i.e. one in Winchester, but this time he would take it to said garage which is great because it's good to have the car in the hands of a trusted friend / mechanic
I bought the whole exhaust from a group buy from Apex less than a couple of years ago, does anyone know what their warranty /replacement policy is?
Cheers

Anyone experienced anything similar before?

The flexi joint shouldn't be supporting the weight of the exhaust as it seems to have been there. You got all the rubber mounts on the exhaust still?

Yeah I have all the rubber mounts on

If you need another one give me a pm. I've just taken one off mine that's only a couple of months old.
