Hello all, had an anoying noise for quite a while, seem coming from under car &/or from engine, and wasn´t all time, It would come & go. Did the inspections, looked under the hood , under the car (noise disapeared whenever I was under the car. Lubricated exhaust pipe rubber supports and noise still came back (usually when engine hot or after using for a while), in the end decided to take exhaust pipe out..
exhuast pipe (center piece)
after close inspection I noticed a crack next to muffler, just took it to welding shop and got it welded for aprox. $9 !
just had to release two bolts in front end + two screws on back end, and release two (by hand) two rubber supports. Did have trouble with one bolt (stuck), just started vehicle and once it warmed up it was easier to release. NOTICE that the annoying sound wasn´t the typical ruptured exhaust, thats why it was so hard to spot!
..by the way I didnt have to replace any of the two gaskets!
