Title: So I Found My Exhaust Leak
Post by: Op-Ivy on September 24, 2008, 12:11:59 am

There was a nice big hole in my exhaust right after the toilet bowl. You can see a part of it in the picture below... It was looney sized! :o

I have to say that although it is nice not smelling diesel fumes all the time, I can't hear my turbo at all now. Is this normal?

Coomon place for them to rust out. The exhaust is just louder than the turbo. Altough i would think the whistle would get louder too.
