Can someone post a picture of the underside of a 1992 Camry exhaust system for me. Theres a rittling noise coming from my engine or my exhaust and I know definitly its not my engine. I believe its the metal mesh on one of the tubes right before the Caticylic converter. Is Okay for me to rip that off of the pipe? I want to get rid of this noise ASAP.
Flex pipe is underneath the car. If that's your problem, then the metal mesh would have already started deteriorating, and ripping it off would only make it worse.

Well I finally got my exhaust checked by a mech. They told me that my manifold is being held in by 2 bolts and theres a crack in it. They also told me that my front pipe is being held by one bolt and I'm getting exhaust gases from the part where the manifold and the front pipe met aka doughnut. I was thinking BS, there are two supports holding the manifold and front pipe. There is sure no way theres a crack in the manifold, this thing is protected by the heat sheild and it can handle heat better than the front pipe can.
Whos else here had a cracked manifold on any toyota camry? The total cost was going to be around 830.00 bux to get it fixed. The most expensive part on the list was the manifold because they had to order the part directly from toyota. What a bunch of bs.
I could really need the help on getting that repair done cheaper somewhere else?
Take it to another mechanic and see what he says. If he says the same thing I'd go about trying to find a manifold in the junkyard and putting it on yourself.

I need ideas on how to get this done.
well you should ask the guy to show you exactly what he is talking about. definitely seems suspect.
also an exhaust leak at the manifodl would be LOUD. you would definitley hear it with the engine runnign an dthe hood open.
I thought it was a heat shield cos you described the sound as a rattling noise. DO you know what an exhaust leak sounds like? Is that the sound?
