Hi All,
our 2002 AWD S60 (160k miles)has a hard life on rutted muddy roads and snowy/salty interstate. Recently (January this year) there was a slight 'twang' (and a slight leaky sound)emitted at start up and when you revved the car while stationery. I assumed (and was hoping) that it was a loose clamp...

Just last weekend it turned into a loud steady unpleasant drone. When we got it up on a lift we couldn't see a loose clamp or an obvious hole. When we started the car you could hear that the noise was coming from the muffler in the middle of the car (the resonator?).

When I looked on line at TASCA and FCP Groton I saw parts that replaced this middle section. BUT my question is when I looked at the stock exhaust it seemed to be ONE PIECE all the way to the rear (very oddly shaped) muffler. How would we cut and insert the replacement part is there a kit or something? This seems odd to me.

Any advice is welcome,

Rod
