When my car is at idle the left exhaust has the nice burble but the right seems to a blowing sound (if thats sounds right). and if you hold your hand over near the outlet of the pipes the funny sounding one seems to expell alot more air (fumes). it a sports exhaust that has'nt been de-catted. just wondering if anyone has the same thing? Do you think it could be something to do with the cat? or one of the cylinders on that part of the manifold???

topic meant to say Funny Right exhaust noise!!

I don't know why it would seem to expel more fumes, but it sound to me like there's a gap in the intermediate pipes that run from the cat, back to the backbox.

Have you had the car jacked up and felt for any parts of the pipes that are letting exhaust fumes escape?

no theres no gaps between the pipes. Its all sealed and no "blows" along the system?? Its quite a big difference between the 2?

This may be a long shot, but has anyone pushed anything in to the 'good' pipe, or have you reversed into a grass bank, and that counts for the 'bad' one blowing more fumes. As for blowing sound, then I dont know.

I said it was a long shot.
