So, yesterday I when to a good hard wheel. At the end of the trip i noticed that the exhaust is heaps louder. Thought i just broke something, but nothing seems broken. What would do this? |

You broke something. Does your exhaust have one of those sprung joints just after the manifold? It may be sitting a little open after you bashed the pipe on something. Give it a kick and it should re-seat. |

Mmmm..... ok, is that going to do any damage, or is it just going to be cop bait ? |

Hah, I got my first question from anyone about the truck being loud yesterday. We were going down the road for a quick fish and I came off a roundabout onto a downhill, stepped on it a little bit (I have stupidly short gears with 6.5's and stock tyres so I was still under the speed limit in 2nd :p) and then saw a policeman step out in a vest and thinking he had a radar gun out I got on the brakes and looked down to make sure, all good, cruised up he was doing a breath check in a little parking bay section. "Going a bit fast there weren't you mate". "Nah not that hard officer it just has ridiculously short gears and I was revving it". "Ah so it just sounds loud then, righto on your way" I wasn't actually speeding but being a downhill and 60 it wouldn't have taken much if I wasn't paying attention. I was also polite to the policeman (who I had no reason to be rude to anyway, not that you would) and he had a joke about how gutless the 1.3 would be and we were off again. I didn't ring it's neck when we left though, that would have been asking for trouble, it's louder from behind :p |
