Title: Blown exhaust
Post by: Scottymk4 on 09 December 2013, 19:36: Hi guys,
Getting a blowing noise from front of car... Really loud... What parts could it be and what costs could be involved ?

Post by: dom on 09 December 2013, 19:39: You need to take a look really, could be the flexy in the down pipe, cracked manifold, could even be a boost leak.

Post by: Scottymk4 on 09 December 2013, 19:40: Hi dom, would a boost leak sound like an exhaust blowing? There is also strong exhaust fumes
