gotta 1.6 sport and was giving it some to show my mate how it goes compared to my old car,slowed down then as i went to boot it again noticed how much different it sounded.
i'm pretty sure its my exhaust thats blowing,and noticed it was hanging off its braket when i checked it.
So was wondering,would it be best to just repair it at a garage,or as i was thinking of getting a new back box anyway go for this?or possibly just go for a full system,what are the benefits/downsides of these different options and how much would they be roughly?
Also anyone know of any places i could get this done in the st.albans,watford or leighton buzzard area?cheers

Get the car on some ramps, keep the engine running, go underneath with some tissue paper and find the hole, then pack it with firegum and an old lager tin. Costs about £5 to repair and you get to have a drink.
If you got a full system you might see a few extra bhp, if you can live with the noise.

Get a full system if u want it to go abit better. I have a 2.25" full system and it cost me £299 custom made from MIJ performance.
Not all full systems are noisey
