    Hole in exhaust...meant to be there?

    Discovered a hole in my original exhaust, on the underside as it starts to sweep up. Looks like it's meant to be there, but can't think why
    Unless something has fallen off that should be attached...

    It's an RD07 btw...i'll post a pic later if that'll help

    If it's at the low point in the exhaust it's to let the water (that's a by-product of combustion) out

    If it's in the same place as that on the Transalps, then it's a drain hole. Small, neat, perfectly circular hole?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
