my exhaust is leaking from between the cat and down pipe when on boost would i get a hissing noise from there bacause i thought on of my boost pipes had a split untill i had taken them all off and checked them all and there all fine so im thinking thats the cause is the exhaust what does everyone think cheers

Hi DRUE
Hissing noise you say?? well its not the exhaust m8. they blow!! sounds like a vacuum leak to me..they hiss!!

Whats the idle like? steady or erratic? BTW i take it u own a 440 turbo?
only u r in a 850 forum m8! sry 4 stating the obvious only i noticed no one had replied to u as we all own fire breathing dragons :firedevil :haha: ....not pussy cats!! LOL :) Only joking m8. I had a 440T - good motors if cared for well.

Any other mods on the engine Drue?

Hissing on boost as was said can also be coming from one of the small vaccum pipes, doesnt necesarily have to be a main boost hose.

my 940 used to sound like a jet engine under boost when the middle box failed
