was out driving last night and pulled into a steep driveway and didnt angle enough and bottotemed out and heard lots of piping on driveway action and it did not sound pretty!!!!!! well now my car sounds like i have open headers,its frekin loud! but i cant find from where?!!? downpipe??

 

Check your downpipe and the piping on your exhaust you have a exhaust leak somewhere.

 

You definitely messed something up. Start by checking all the vbands and make sure none popped apart. If they didn't start looking for the rip being ripped open, O2 sensor ripped off, etc...

 

Ouch...have fun. I had a nice whole in my uppipe. Turbonetics took care of me though! Called at 4pm...the pipe was there at 9am the next day.

 

Definately an exhaust leak. I hope you can do it yourself and not have to pay for someone to do it.

 

ok well i just went under there and checked all the pipes....no holes or anything in any of the pipes, from the downpipe all the way back, all the clamps are tight.....now what???

 

is there a common place where the exhaust leak could be coming from, like a certain place that happens kind of often?

 

C'mon dude it can't be that hard turn the car on and look for the noise.

 

Check the downpipe that has the latch that connects to the block. This broke on mine. Its in a tricky area to see all you can do is feel with your hands but you have to let the car cool down. I put on some gloves and felt the exhaust coming out on my hand. You see maybe when you bottomed out you hit the pipes causing this one to jerk cracking that little peice off.

 

Agreed. You HAVE an exhaust leak somewhere. Look for any carbon build up in around the block...

 

jack the car up, you probably took off the v band clamp that goes onto the downpipe at the bottom....
