exhaust leak [neuspeed]

**BrokenXenon** · 07-01-2004 07:34 AM

couple of days ago... i noticed that when i start the car in the morning... i hear some kinda whistling sound coming from the back. and it gets louder when i hit the throttle. so it's throttle dependent sound.

so i looked under the car this morning... i hear pssssshhhhh sound from the rear of my car. i guess it's an exhaust leak.

how bad is exhaust leak? and how much would it cost me to fix this?

Well, is there a hole or is it just one of the clamps is loose?

check this out...check the cross member arm that holds the rear portion of the exhaust. it's the part that is bolted in the middle w/ an adjustment slider...the tubing that's used is somewhat thin especially in the bend area and where it's welded cause the leak...have a look
