Just a little advice....

Well, I'm finding my mk1 rivage cabby exhaust alittle bit raspy at the front end under load…
Took it to a garage today, and whilst looking underneath, found no holes at all which I shouldn't think so seen as it had a powerflow exhaust fitted not so long ago….

Anyhow…. I did find the front down pipe to have a very cheap tinny sound, and can see that this seems to be my problem…

Is there anyway of curing this, I thought possibly some heat wrap around it????

Any help appreciated guys…

It could be that the joint between the manifold and the down pipe is leaking. Might be worth checking and if it is you might want to replace the sealing ring and the C clips that hold the manifold and the downpipe together.

Also a centre divide in the opening of the manifold can break off if the downpipe and sealing ring wear out. The manilfold's centre divide ends up meeting with the centre divide of the down pipe and it causes the manifold to break.
