Title: Backbox under stress!!
Post by: 2 of the left on July 24, 2014, 22:19
When moving off in 1st and changing up to 2nd,  the exhaust sounds like there is a chain "pull through" being applied to the pipe !! - Question is - Is it time to rip out the back box and re-place?  s:? :? s:?

Sounds more like a heat shield loose, to me.
