Re: Exhaust blowing.

It's right at the end of the manifold pipe, the system looks well fitted and the bloke who fitted seemed to know what he was doing ! No pics sorry pal, was planking to change the manifold at some point anyway ! Is it a big job to replace?

Re: Exhaust blowing.

Cheers for the advice but I managed to put it on a pit last night and it's a proper split away from where the exhaust system connects to the manifold so it will need welding so in two minds what to do

Re: Exhaust blowing.

Managed to get the cav above a pit at work and it's the manifold pipe has split where it connects to the exhaust system! So do I get it welded or do I buy another manifold or a decent custom manifold ?

Exhaust blowing.

Driving home tonight and the exhaust has started to sound like when the back box goes but it's sounding like that from the front of the system more or less underneath my seat ? It's a fairly new system so I am a little stuck to what it could be .

Disconnected battery and tried to open the door by pulling the lock button up inside and pulling the inside handle, that doesn't work and also tried spraying wd40 in the lock as well! Stuck now
