Exhaust noises?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, I have a 2009 LTD with about 125k miles, that makes noises lately. The wife says after driving for about half an hour the car gets louder as if the exhaust system was leaking somewhere. So I crawled under to check things. All the rubber hangers look god and are intact. I noticed that small muffler just behind the cat. It is connected to the rear part of the exhaust system with a large clamp and the pipes are stuck one inside another. What's weird is that the smaller pipe is slightly clean for about 1/2" as if those 2 pipes are kind of loose and slip back and forth. Is it possible that, after the exhaust system is sufficiently hot, the 2 pipes get loose and a small exhaust leak develops? Is this a known issue or am I imaginating things?
