Fired the 206 up the other day to hear the exhaust blowing, only a slight sound difference on idle compared to normal but it seems to get quite high pitched when lifting off the power at about 2500rpm. Anyone have any ideas where it could be coming from? And a rough idea on how much it will cost to fix.
Cheers

From experience the best way to find out where it's coming from is to simply get under the car and feel for the leak, obviously being careful not to burn yourself from the heat.

have a look where the back box joins up with the centre section ( behind the passenger rear wheel ) , they tend to rust and split around the clamp

@cartoonhead
You was spot on mate, Has completely rusted away at the clamp and back box is near enough on the deck!
