Exhausts blowing before the cat

[Martin_172]

alright guys, my exhaust is blowing just before the cat and was wondering what i need to replace to sort this, does it mean i need a new cat or is it not that serious? cheers

if its the other side of the bolts connecting the cat to the rest of the system then u wont need a new cat, if its in the same part as the cat then yes you will!!

if its at the join of the cat and front-pipe you'll just need a new gasket.

if its the front pipe, then you'll need a new front-pipe!!

i think this is right, im sure someone will correct me otherwise!!

pretty much correct ^

almost all blow slightly. only noticeable when pulling off next to a wall (for instance at a drive thru)
