tomloaf Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi I have a 1.8 petrol 2000 reg ford focus estate. When I drive along my exhaust seems really loud and when I get to approximately 3000 revs it seem worryingly loud. At lover revs it seems normally. I thought this might be because of a hole in the exhaust. So got that fix as there was a hole but this made no difference. Any ideas Was I conned with the exhaust. Can I get them to give me my money back if this was not the problem as it was a Kwik Fit? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get it fixed but this sounds like a lie to me anyone heard about this before? tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blimp Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I would blame the CR*PFIT exhaust I once took a caviler in with a large hole in 1 box and a crack in the other. full new exhaust system was fitted and the car was noisier than when I took it in after 3 weeks complaining I found out that they had fitted a cheap back box which was not tuned to the rest of the system which produced harmonics very loud harmonics.
