   Went over a bump earlier and it's like something's come loose with my exhaust, any accurate information/happened to anyone before?
   
   My main question is, how long can I go without getting it fixed as I have college tomorrow.
   
   It sometimes rattles, but it's just really loud like reving and driving along/in gear and foot off accelerator, like having a sports exhaust but with no sports exhaust ha
   
   Thanks

   Its probably blowing pretty bad, You should be able to spot the join where its leaking from.
   
   Just have a look under the car when you get a chance.
   
   You might just need to refit the clamp, or the exhaust its self might have a hole in it or something.

   Cheers, estimated cost of repair if I needed to replace exhaust or whatever?

   A standard exhaust is pretty cheap and its not a long job to fit, im sure a garage would take a look for you.

   It's cool sounding like a shit subaru for a few days but the sooner its sorted, the more efficient your car will be. Was 60 for a whole new pipe for me pal.
