clio cup exhaust noise

[chris79]

ive done about 1600 miles in my cup (6 weeks old), and ive noticed when i get home and park on the drive, i can hear some strange noises coming from the exhaust, best i can describe it is sorta creaking/ticking noise, is this normal ?

[chris79]

[McBunny]

mate - you keep your personal life to yourself alright!!!!

this is a forum used by under 18s and its not fair to talk about how much hammering "your little men" got up to last night!!!!

I thought it was because Id ragged it too much when it first happened to mine. I was in a underground car park and it just sounded so loud. Its just the heat though.
