Exhaust problems...?


When I drive, I hear a Huge loud annoying POP noise. it creeps me out.

I was thinking it was a Suspension, or some kind of Upper or lower Arm of some type popping. No problems there.. Next thing to check..

Exhaust is loose, I see a broken Exhaust Flange.. The two pipes, Are barely touching, so I have a huge exhaust leak, which explains why my car is louder than a normal stock sixxer.. AND, If I pull on my Y pipe.. It clicks REALLY LOUD and moves a bit side to side and keeps clicking REALLY LOUD.. its SO annoying while driving, it sounds like its falling off the car.

I just want it fixed, My original plan was to replace with H pipe and Dual Exhaust, But I don't want performance; At least not from a sixxer..

Any idea's on what it could be? I could post a video tomorrow of me pulling on it and making the pop noise if that would help? x_x

Oh and... 7 minutes into Nyan cat marathon. Driving my wife nuts FTW.

Not simple if you have no money and have to fix things yourself because you don't know a guy that works at an exhaust shop.

I don't trust people to work on my car, Its my car; I should know how to fix it. That's how everyone should be..

let me put it this way...unless you have a way to cut out the old flange and weld in a new one it's gonna be cheaper to take it to an exhaust shop...unless they are just stripped out studs...then you'll need to either take them out with a wrench or if its the flange that connects to the manifold/exhaust then you'll have to press it out

you should take a picture because i know our cars are notorious for the passenger manifold to crack right at that flange... its happened to damn near everyone on this forum.

just take it to a shop and ask if they can weld it while its in the car i would say at most they should charge you $50

i got quoted $35 for mine when it was bad but i put longtubes on instead

sounds a lot like a leak where the flanges connect due to it not being able to stay tight...could just be me reading between the lines though lol

Oh and when the car is running, it leaks water from where the flange is located.
