Unhappy "blowing exhaust"

ive got a scoobyworld afterburner vortex back box and centre de-cat fitted. just recently, it sounds like backbox is "blowing". exhaust has been fitted since jan2004. was wondering if its any thing to do with the spiralled baffles inside??? anyone else had any problems with this system or any ideas what the prob could be??

Hold the palm of your hand over the tailpipe, restricting gas flow.

Get you head down there as the gas will be trying to escape othere ways now, if it does theres your leak.

I've got the Afterburner Vortex and full Ninja decat and the Ninja Centre section came with a new metal gasket. I would think this is your problem and worn bafles normally rattle. A blow would only come from a hole or split.
