Im driving my CRX around and I park at the mall. Come out and start up my CRX and it is really really loud. It sounds like I got a fart can exhaust but it is just the stock one with a cheap tip on the end. I went to my sister's house to check out what the hell was going on and I shook my exhaust and nothing. I go to the side and shake it and nothing. I start it up and it is really loud. What the hell is going on? I went to the tail pipe and it still shoot out the exhaust like before but super loud. I cant pinpoint where the sound is coming from. There might be a hole in the header but I dont think so because the sound is not coming from there. The loudness is all over the undercarrage.

Anyone know what the hell is going on? I cant jack my car because it is so low to the ground LOL the jack wont fit. Help me I dont want to fart it up.

did you check the gasket were the header meets the cat just check all exhaust gaskets an check your rear section

 

maybe the guts inside the catalytic converter got blown out or messed up in some way...are their any strange rattles?

 

Kinda OT, but how do you plan to put a spare on if you get a flat?

 

Damn, how low is your car? Can't you still jack it up using the rear tow hook? Did you scrape driving around anywhere?

 

heres what you do...you pull your car in your front yard or something (in the grass) you keep the car running and look under your car and you can see where the blades of grass move around and that will tell you where your leak is....cuz u deffinately have a leak without a doubt.i have a clamped exhaust right now and it had madd leaks so thats how i found every leak.

 

I found out what the problem was. I just got my new suspension installed and it is still really stiff because it has only like 100km on it. Anyways I have been bumping around for a few days and I guess the curved pipe coming from the CC to the other main pipe got broken loose. I couldnt see it because the break was totally sheer and the pipes were right back in the original positions and it looked the same. When I jacked up my car (which was a whole friken ordeal BTW) I shook the pipe again and noticed the break.

What really sucks is that I have an appointment tommorow to get my emmisions done and that aint happening with a broken pipe. So I have to cancell that for the second time this week and head into the part store and get the pipe and then go and get it installed because I cant get my CRX high enough without a lift or I would do it myself. WOO HOO like $350 in the *******!
