Got the most anoying blow in my exhaust system ever! The system in question is a Bugpack 4 into 1 quite pack with
j-tubes. Checked every single possible joint and whatever. you can only hear it when the engine is under load when driving. On tick over its fine but as i say when your moving you can hear it chuffing so to speak. Driving me mad :evil:

Are you sure its an exhaust leak? could be a badly seated head if you are sure the exhaust isnt the problem.
 
try blocking the end of your exaust with a rag in you palm and see if you can hear where the leak is ??
 
I did consider that tbh, but if it was that it would run rough and maybe lack compression. It's only being doing it since sunday and the engine runs smooth as silk i can't fault it :?
