Once those collector boxes have corroded to the point of developing holes its only going to be downhill from then on. However, a set of Motads should give you another 10 years of service- its very difficult to successfully weld corroding steel. If you can pick them up from Motad in Walsall I think mine cost 149 notes without postage. BE VERY CAREFUL tightening up exhaust header nuts-but you knew that already based on past posts where some of us have overdone them to our pain & cost. At least you've developed your polishing skills!

Not saying you have missed anything but its very easy to overtighten them with resultant "o F*** it" moment when a stud snaps(usually an awkward to reach one on no 2 or 3 cylinder! :eek
