i was just riving down the street and i guess i hit a bump really hard, you can never see whats on the road down here cuz they aint no lights and the streets are all fucked up. but anyway i hit this bump and now my exahst now make this really loud sound. like all the air is leaking out from somewhere. im kinda afraid to dive it now. i dont want there to be a really big problem with it then it really get effed up. has this happed to anyone or can you give me some things to look for?

 

Get under there and look for a hole in your ****.

Check all the connections too......where the header bolts to the cat, cat to the midpipe, midpipe to axleback......

I guess that isn't a captain obvious thing to do. The time spent typing up your why my car makes loud noises thead you'd have your answer.

 

Wow did he just ask that?
Its like saying, my car sputtered and died and the gas gauge is on E, what happened!!!!
I love this ****

 

ok thanks. but i looked under and there is no hole anywhere, and all the conections are good.

 

ok i found like a split in the cat. i guess its the resuklt of that bump that i hit. its no more that 1/2in slit. is it ok to keep driving my crx with this whole in the cat. its not on the cat more like 2in behind the connection going to the rear of the headers

 

no way driving ur car with a slit in the crack will blow ur motor,dude people run open header all the time so what do u think

 

update:

i now know what was up with my cat. there was no hole or anything, the whole thing was just broken. i took it to a shop and they lifted it up and showed me that the cat was brocken. you could only hear a rattling noise and then they pushed it up and showed m that it was restinf on the rest of the pipe. now i am either going to run a straight pipe or hollow out the cat...which do you think will be more effective?

 

if you want to stay legal than go purchase a high flow cat... they arent too expensive and they will give you the same results as a straight pipe... i on the other hand am very cheap and impatient(two extremely bad things when dealing with cars) and i would go the route of the straight pipe... just my opinion but do what you think would be best... its your car

give a hoot, don't pollute!
