Yeah it’s definitely a V8 petrol
I've had a HG blow the exhaust.. that was a frightOh, one other source of noise was really only noticeable when I was stopped alongside an ARMCO, was a loud rattling popping sound.
Was an exhaust gasket that had blown. LOL
Get a new one from Double S.Hi again,
ok this definitely sounds exhaust-related.
Would I be right in thinking that any restriction in back-pressure would hurt performance and fuel economy ?
if I want to replace the rusty pipes can anyone recommend a decent (though not wallet-scaring) source / supplier / brand ?
is it worth trying to get a pre-loved stainless system over a new rot-prone one ?
thanks again

I’m just squinting at the cost of exhausts but seems like a false economy not to go stainless…. Even if it does cost £££ upfront

I’m hoping not…. Engine was replaced around 60,000 miles ago…
Noticed there are no heat shields on the manifolds but they’re wrapped in some kind of white rope-like material.
The exhaust does look
Pretty rusted up and has been welded in a few places
