   If its the baffles in the exhaust it needs replacing you'll probably pick one up cheap enough and shouldn't be too difficult to do yourself with a jack and a few tools. But tbh shouldn't cost too much at a garage or tyre/exhaust fitters

   me future brother in law had a similer prob, he got a cheap exhaust off gumtree for 40quid, when he took the old one off someone has tried to weld it but would have been better using chewing gum (aka the weld was crap), its proper quiet now like

    Hit your box to see if it sounds like its broken up inside, and wobble your exhaust to make sure it cant hit on anything, check heat shields are not hitting.
