Not sure if this is in the right section...

Anyway.. I got a new middle and backsection fitted to my dads Accord...

Since then, the exhaust still sounds like its blowing...

soo... took it back to the fitters and they said that, " the exhaust needs time to carbonised ... It will take a month or so or at least 1000 miles before the exhaust quiets down"...

Is he chattin a load of **** or is he talking sense..

Could be ok.

Seeing that it's new - look for black sooty deposits around the 'joints' - which would suggest a 'leak'.

The exhaust will blow where old meets new if they've not cleaned up the old part sufficiently before installation of the new bit.

Cheap exhausts do rattle. Had one fitted on an old shape rover 213se (E reg) rattled for over 12 months.Took it back and had it changed for a better quality one. No more rattles . Same bull given back than.

please tell me its NOT from Custom chrome in coventry :S as the one they fitted for me is blowing now for the third time since its been fitted in march and repeatedly "fixed" since....

Dai... Ive never actually heard of custom chrome.. What area is that in?

I got it done at Mr Tyres.. Not bad price.. Theyve promised to change it in a months time or 500 miles.. Which evers first..

The exhaust is fitted okay, not rattling, no leaks as far as i can see... It just sounds fairly deep at the moment.. I like it , but my dad don't

He is talking a load of bull, a new exhaust should be gas tight right from the word go. NO LEAKS AT ALL.

hey Duff, its in nuneaton, stay away

[color=blue]Had a joint on my Galant blowing as soon as I left exhaust garage-got home, slapped some exhaust gasket sealer on the joint once I undone nuts and all was fine, seems to me in your case the joint was not joined correctly, carbonisination my a**e!! [/color]

It's the old "Bullshit Baffles Brains" technique ... The exhaust should be sealed 100% after fitting !!
