   Hi
   
   Was out driving my VTR tonight, and it feels like the exhaust is going, loud ish noise and can feel it vibrating under my feet
   
   Just bought the car and was going to buy a new exhaust anyway, where is the best place to look, and what type?
   
   I'd prefer something a bit louder than standard, but not too loud, just wouldnt know where to start, and what sort of price am i looking at?
   
   Thanks for any help

   Ok got the exhaust checked today, its not that, i been to Hemel today down the motorway so had a good drive in it, seems to vibrate under the accelerator when turnin the wheel to the left, also when going over bumps i hear a bit of a noise coming from front right wheel, not left though.
   
   I thought tyres were low or summat maybe, got them checked, had the garage look at the knocking issue, they said it could be the wheel balance, does that sound right?
