Exhaust blowing and currently stranded in Paris...
 

Hey guys, Urgent problem!

In Paris right now and have had the car on a recovery truck delivered to my hotel, basically this is what happened. The exhaust sounded like it was blowing, as if there was a leak somewhere, whenever pressing the accellerator it would blow, an hour later it just became massively loud as if it's not even connected to the manifold.

Sound is coming from the front and underneath the car I can see what looks like heat shield fabric hanging from the bottom and it looks all torn up.

Any ideas? Gonna see a mechanic tomorrow but I'm hoping that the up pipe or something has just come loose, easy fix or will it require components to be taken off?

Cheers for any guidance

if up pipe is blown its not a small job down pipe needs to come of and the headers, we usually charge £150 to repair including a newage sti up pipe just a guide price for you pal hope you get it sorted buddy might just be a blown gasket
