i have a 1.1 look petrol and it sounds as if the exhaust is blowing even though by the looks of it the system is relatively new (iv only had the car 2 weeks) and the blowing noise is coming from the exhaust tip, any ideas why its doing this or ways to fix it? cheers

Hold your hand or something over the end of the exhaust while its running and you will see the smoke coming out of where its leaking.

The internal mesh may have came away...
If you jack the car up and have a look around underneith it should be pretty obvious if there is a leak somewhere..

iv looked at the underside of the exhaust and it is not blowing from anywhere, could it be the baffle in the back box that have gone/broke?
