Hi all - apologies if this has been posted before but thought it might help & avoid some unnecessary bills. My S4 (B8) 2010 began blowing its exhaust on Christmas Eve. An examination showed that the clamps had disintegrated.
With no auto-part stores open a temporary repair was put into action using jubilee clips!
An order for inexpensive Stainless Steel replacements was placed which arrived last week.
New clamps fitted today & all back in action. From an internet search this is a well known issue - the OEM clamps rust with the danger that the exhaust will fall onto the road requiring an expensive/inconvenient tow truck recovery.
Hope that is useful.
