Exhaust sound
« on: 27 April 2012, 20:19 »
Ok looks like I have found the first problem with the new car.
When driving. Every time I eccelerate I have a loud SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS from the exhaust.
Gets louder the more I put my foot down.

Any ideas? I'm thinking collapsed cat or baffles gone in one of the boxes.
But wanted other opinions.

Away to find out for sure if there's a hole is an old skool tip lol. Put your hand over the exhaust and the car should cut out if there's no hole... if it don't cut out then i expect a hole.

As above, I had the same problem and it was a loose joint between the back box and cat!

Sounds like someone has fitted a dump valve thingy. Look in the backbox

Yeah it does sound like one of them stupid things you stick up the back box. Mine still has the original downswept tailpipe tho so doubt one of them would fit.

you would be suprised theres a gti round here with standard box and 2 of them whistling heap of turds in there never know it might be fitted down the exhaust a bit for extra sound as it goes through rear box worth checking imo
