Hi guys, i have a Trust PEII on my IS200 (1GFE auto) , in the last month or so it has been making a really raspy sound once i accelerate. Now it sounds like a cabramatta special :( , i can't see any holes/cracks in the bottom of the muffler, any ideas what it may be?

Rob

Put a foot/jandal/shoe over the end of the muffler with the engine running. Try to get a good seal so you can check for leaks.

You're listening for a chuffing noise anywhere other than the where you're sealing the muffler tip, this indicates a leak & possibly the cause of the noise. If there's no obvious leaks your muffler may have blown all its insulation out perhaps?

Probably end up with a trip to an exhaust shop or somewhere with a hoist anyway...

Yeah I'd say the insides have fallen to bits.

Look directly into the tail pipe. You will see a smaller diameter tube inside. See if that has corroded or about to break off inside.

Had a look inside, from what i can see it looks fine , no corrosion or any sign of breakages.
Hopefully it isn't goneski :(

Will try to jack the car up and have a proper look underneath asap.
