Title: 16v exhaust problem
Post by: sesterfield on 13 October 2006, 16:15

I went to start my car today, and there appears to be something wrong with the exhaust. 

It's been knocking at the back for a while now and I keep meaning to change the rubbers however this morning in particular it feels like the car has lost back pressure, and it sounds horrendous.  It drives fine, however the car seems to vibrate a lot more.  I had a nose underneath and I can't see any gaping holes anywhere (I did however find a tube coming from the back of the airbox that went nowhere!  I doubt it's relevant but I thought  I'd mention it).

If anyone has any ideas that'd be great, since there isn't a huge gaping hole staring at me I am a bit stumped!

Cheers

James

Have a grab of the heat shields around the rear silencer/rear beam area. Pull them about and see if any are loose.

also just check the joints where the pieces connect and the pipes go into the silencers etc. u dont need a gaping hole to have it making a racket and sh!t lol
