Hi guys,
Getting a blowing noise from front of car... Really loud... What parts could it be and what costs could be involved ?

You need to take a look really, could be the flexy in the down pipe, cracked manifold, could even be a boost leak.

Hi dom, would a boost leak sound like an exhaust blowing? There is also strong exhaust fumes

I think so Barry, if its the front section with the flexi, how much do you recon to fix?

A boost leak would sound like a big hissing noise, I'd put money on it being the exhaust though.
