Grum21 10 Posted May 1, 2014 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!!

Grum21 10 Posted May 1, 2014 I've checked and exhaust isn't hitting anythink under the car, not sure if manifold is touching anythink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted May 1, 2014 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted May 2, 2014 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
