exhaust help

[matt.lund]

just been looking at my exhaust because i suspected it to be blowing, i was right lol. it seems to be blowing at the joint just after the cat. i have tried to tighten the clamp on this joint, it has helped a bit but exhaust is still blowing.

there is also water dripping from most of the joints, beforfe cat , after cat , then between mid pipe and back boxes. what does this mean? just condensation? the exhaust also seems to sag in the middle, is thier supposed to be a bracket near the cat which holds it up?

Is it an uprated/stainless exhaust? In most cases the brakets fail due to the weight and result in sagging. There should be two of them, one near the centre and a slightly larger one at the end, that supports the backbox.

The water is just condensation I imagine and regarding the blow (given that it's not down to corrosion) it probably just need pushing further into the joint, tightening and maybe a bit of exhaust sealant applying.

no exhaust is standard, it has a bit of rust but nothink major. the system does not seem to be connected to the car with a holding brackt but just clamped together. gonna try the paste but still got a bit of a rattle on it, bit concerned about nopt having a support bracket
