Default Exhaust

Well it sounds as though my exhaust is blowing at the back box.
So what kind of money are you talking for an exhaust?

Hi Norrie,
The standard systems are stainless steel and very well made, so unlikely to be blowing there - more likely to be blowing at coupling clamp. Its an easy fix, the three nuts and bolts on the clamp will be loose, but so rusty might as well replace them so the joint wil be tight. Of course if the system has cracked or damaged it can easily be welded.

If you do have to replace it, there's usualy some used system about as folks have replaced them with custom jobs, also at breakers. I have kept my original system as a back up after fitting a different system. A new factory replacement would probably cost more than our cars are woth!

Well when we went out last night for pizza it sounded as though it was blowing but when we got back I climbed under the car and couldn't hear anything so I reckon it was blowing when cold and sealed when it heated up so it does sound as though it's a joint.
I will check it properly tomorrow.
I didn't realise that the system was stainless steel.
