S2 Exhaust

[Elfit]

My S2 has the old SS exhaust that used to be on Norman's "Gerald"
He got rid of it because of a "buzzing" from the front part of the silencer

At the time it was great replacement as my steel exhaust was totally shot and I had no funds for a new one. Luckily the buzzing stopped for a couple of years but now it's back and massively annoying me. One of the joys of the car had been that great exhaust note but when it isn't quite right it always nags at the back of my mind. It's also showing signs of age having had a front weld repair and it has a couple of minor leaks.

Has anyone successfully repaired a buzzing exhaust? What's inside the box and can it be effectively opened/sorted/closed up again?
(Note that I won't be doing this myself)

If I were to go for a new one are there any recommendations?

I've emailed ACT, Racetech and stainlesssteelexhausts and am awaiting replies
Would each have a different noise?
Who else makes decent exhausts?


I'm after a decent Tiv growl with finesse not just bad boy LOUD if you know what I mean.

Is it possible to be an exhaust connoisseur and recognise exhaust notes in a similar way to vintage wines?

Many thanks

Thanks all

I've found the post with pictures of inside box ~ here

And also came across this

Both these pictures are of the inside of the big silencer box.

I think my problem is with the front 2 tubes section. AutoAndy, did you ever find out what was in there?

Cheers

Oh yes, sorry, I see that now.
