v6 mk2
hi all,
any1 had any issues with an aftermarket exhaust sealing properly?
i had the janspeed fitted by my dad, then a mate at kwik fit gave it the once over etc, he had to re-fit the bracket at the cat and seal with exhaust paste as it sounded like a tractor.
However i am noticing that there is still a strange noise coming from where the cat is, it can only be described as a wet fart noise, best i can do!!!! lol
we thought the new seal had come away because the noise only happens when the engine is pulling hard, it doesnt do it at low revs if you arent using much throttle.
we tried putting the jack under the centre box to keep it held straight as it was flexing when the engine was revved but the noise is still there.
My dad thought it might be a problem with the meeting point of the cat and the manifold pipe, this section is joint by a spring loaded bracket, he said the fibre ring might have been disturbed when we were fitting it.
Can any1 help at all? losing faith and dont want to revert back to the standard system!!
