Exhaust Problems Need Sorting

Recommended Posts

matt205xs

Bearing in mind that the car has been standing for approx 18months, theres a tapping coming from the back box,

 

and a sort of gurgling sound from around the middle section?

 

Anyone got any clues wht it could be?

 

Its a Magnex SS System

Could be a number of things.

 

Is the Exhaust backbox tapping on something?

Engine mounts, Loose hangers, cracked exhaust manifold.

 

Gurgling could possibley signify water in there?!

nah the tapping is coming from inside the bk box,

 

the gurglling- what sound would it make if manifold and down pipe wernt lined up properly,

Well it would be 'blowing' would'nt it..get your hand under there , to feel for any blows, ( with the engine running )watch you dont burn yourself though!

if you know that the rattling is coming from inside of the rear box, it's likely something has worked itself loose - could take box off and try and shake whatever it is out

Make sure the rear heat sheild isn't touching the exhaust anywhere.

 

Being an exhaust though, there isn't a great deal that can be done given the expense involved. I have read that Magnex can have a tendancy to work baffles loose in the boxes, that would explain the tapping.
