Blackstar Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hi guys, I know the pics aren't the best, but I can't currently get underneath the car. I was wandering if this exhaust looks standard to you? I don't know what its supposed to sound like, but the car has a much louder and deeper humming than I expected. I know YouTube videos aren't the best source, but both the cabin and exterior vids I've seen seem to have the 'throatyness/gurgling' of the engine come through a lot more than my car, and not the deep hum I seem to have.

HEADPHONES Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This is a standard exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Pic 2 - Looks like it;s failed or failing. That's where mine eventually split. I'd be looking to replace soon. And yeah, original 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If it's loud, it's blowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I did think of blowing as a possibility, but as I say not having never heard a car in the real world it is difficult to tell, will get the shoddy parts replaced. Cheers! Edited August 26, 2016 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evest Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Start engine and reach under with some tissue near the flange. If it wafts about you have a leak. Maybe just needs new gaskets. Best to get a full stainless steel cat-back to be on the safe side though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If funds are tight an exhaust place can repair and weld the join for about £50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Agree with juggalo, pic 2 is the weak point in the exhaust system and has already been mentioned you could get it welded up but chances are the flexi's will be on their way out and it does look well rusty. If you were thinking of a repair just put he cash towards a stainless cat-back system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Time for a nice new exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Oh its a standard exhaust alright haha. Replaced mine in 2014 after only 30 oddK miles... crap OEM. New exhaust time most definitely Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, original Plus 1 on all of that. It's sooting up by there so definitely letting exhaust gases out. Have a look at the professional traders on here like Torqen, Tarmac Sportz, the Cougar Store and more who can all sort you out with a nice exhaust system whatever your budget or requirements.
