exhaust help!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hi ok today i was driving the bmw a wee bit hard and the exhaust went loud like a blowing sound. i then drove slower and it was normal again then i drove hard again and no blowing sound!!
also there is a burning smell from the car then it goes away!
i think the cat is going because it makes funny sounds sometimes.
could this be the cat burning and making the blowing sound when at high rev's?
like i said it only blows somtimes. there is no holes etc because i looked 
also where is the best place to get a nice system from?
thanks

	I remember having a similar complaint, I found that the corner�s had blown around the cat, I "quick" fixed with that hardening exhaust putty until I found a new system, but on a 318is there�s loads of places, try Euro car parts, I know there�s one in Glasgow, not sure about where in Edinburgh mate.

	Depends how much you wanna spend mate.... you can get new stainless systems for around about �300 give or take, OR, you could prob get a customs one made for around �200 - �250 .... Dastek are the only local ones I know of to do customs builds... However, theres always the scrappies for a temp fix until you decide what to do, OR Black Bettys suggestion above ???
