Vibration and loud exhaust

Recommended Posts

Hi I need some help to work out this fault

My exhaust sounds really loud and have checked under car and it's not touching anythink,

Also noticed under hard accelation there's a vibration from front end that seems travel though car!!

Could it be engine mounts? If so how's easiest way to check

Or is it possible the manifold is sitting against somethink that carnt see fron under car!!

It might not touch when stationary but on the move the rear beam will be moving up and down so could be touching then

 

To check your mounts keep the handbrake on and stick it in first and loft the clutch while someone else studys how much movement there is in the bay

I recently had similar - a loud rattle from the back of the engine bay & increased exhaust noise - it was found to be one of my exhaust manifold pipes had broken away from the part that mounts it on the back of the block

it was a scary noise but thankfully a quick weld later & all was well
