    Yes mate its common. You can just weld some new ones on, a garage wont charge you much for that.

    It's a common problem mate, stainless pipe with mild steel brackets.......the welds just rot.

    Simple enough to weld back on though

    Why on earth weld steel brackets onto a st st exhaust? Not the done thing to mix the two and must save pennies.
