Hi,
Thank you for info to previous -
I may have been taken for a bit of a mug but have been told by friend that the rather 'sporty' throaty sound from my recent purchase is very typical of Fiat Mareas !!??
Just been MOTd ok and system looks new - cant find any obvious blow holes.

Do they normally sound like this?

I have a 100SX and it certainly doesnt have a loud exhaust as standard, maybe a tad noisier than a Focus or Astra

I would suggest that you either have a sports exhaust fitted, catalyst removed or failed or it has a blow somewhere, maybe at the manifold ?

The system isnt expensive for, however, Im sure the manifold will be

Good luck!
