The joy of a leaking exhaust system

Back here after a very looooong time!

Neither my pocket nor my "social responsibilities" permit me to install a free flow exhaust in my car. But thanks to some really good luck, my dear little Indica has developed a tiny leak in the exhaust. The result is that a part of the outlet gases follow the normal outlet path whereas some part of the fumes leak from a point before the muffler.

The net effect is pure nirvana. The exhaust note is unique and there is a small but noticeable improvement in performance (or is my mind playing games here?). Compared to stock, the revs are building up dramatically with a distinctive whoosh. This is the closest I can come to a tuned exhaust. Meanwhile, I am enjoying my fifteen days of fame, after which the car will be brought back to normal.

I hope that cops don't catch me for the kind of music my car creates!

Signing off.
