My car sounded like a diesel truck, fixed
for the past week my car has sounded like a run down diesel truck. After wondering WTF was up, i noticed a loud, banging, clunking sound coming right my passenger side test pipes.
Went to the shop and lifted the car... there was a small mouse inside my test pipe...
Just kidding, i had a blown gasket. Not sure how it happened, but the blow gasket really changed the sound of the car. The engine sounded off (well the engine sound was changed because the damn clnking was so lound) and the exhaust sounded like it had a piston hitting the wall of the test pipe.
If anyone with an aftermarket exhaust experiences wierd noises, check the gaskets!
Regular vs blown
