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... |

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. Rob |
