Avant Exhaust Sleeve Clamp

[Alistair E]

Discovered I have a blow from the exhaust on Friday. Put the front of the car up on the ramps and found that the sleeve that connects the pipe from the rear of the cats, where they become a single pipe, to the mid section has lost it's clamp. The sleeve is still there, just not clamped. Just phoned the dealer and they are NLA.

Does anyone have an alternative source? The dealer quoted that they are 65mmx125mm which I thought was strange as I always thought the pipe was 2.75" / 70mm.

Also, anyone else still running on their original exhaust? Mine is not bad considering it's 25 years old.

Thanks

I've just bought 2 for my S2, yes 65mm rings a bell. I think the other one is 55mm.
Still on standard exhaust although it's a bit scabby looking! (@73k miles)

Tradition sell that 65mm sleeve clamp. If it's just a clamp you need, you can use a generic one that fits over the sleeve

Cheers for the info. 73k is low but I'll bet it's not as scabby as mine at 198k
