You may well find a cheaper one - they are available for different pipe sizes so it would be a good idea to measure the diameter of all the pipes going in to yours. Remove the old one first just in case you find you'd be better off with a complete manifold.

It's most likely to be called a LCB Y piece if you want to search the 'net for one.



I might add a coat or 2 of Exhaust paint would have made that last a bit longer.

If it keeps breaking then you need to sort your engine stabiliser otherwise its a waste of time fixing the exhaust as it will break off again
