My car exhaust is blowing in front of the CATS where two joints meet and the clamps have corroded so a joint is not sealed they look very corroded. I took to a local exhaust centre and they said all 4 cats need replacing as the joint is not repairable. Have got my car booked into a main dealer for an estimate. What are my options ? Can a local exhaust centre repair? or does it have to be a main dealer? and what is the likely cost?
 
I am not sure what dealers will charge but I paid around £1600 for a full cat swap using original MB cats.
 
just taken to another garage and its where the front section joins the middle section and does look expensive took this morning to a specialist car welder and hopefuly they can repair which will save me a small fortune no doubt, so going to try that first rather than use a main dealer.
 
Used a car restorer at a place called Body Care at Fort Fareham nr Portsmouth did a superb job sealing the leak for £35 so am a happy bunny would recommed this chap . Will keep this car getting front brakes sorted at PCS next week.
