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

the 1.8 has a throaty exhaust at higher revs on most thats normal depends how loud is loud take it back and tell them you had the hole fixed but the cars still noisy they will check it

could it possible be noise from the engine if so could it be a problem or just noise

to be honest its hard to say as i cant hear the noise and different people have different perceptions and ways of describing a noise to be honest if its a concern ide have it checked out the 1.8 is only usually throaty when revved hard other than that its fairly quiet noises can be coming from one place say a wheel but to you and the way the noise travels you think its an engine noise

I have taken it back and they say its a manufacturers fault with the back box and will fix it for free. I will get it fixed but this sounds like a lie to me anyone heard about this before?

isnt unheard of youll soon find out when they refit the exhaust

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.

all depends ive never had an issue with them when the workls being done i go out and i watch them that way if youre unhappy you can tell them there and then
