hi, my exhaust has broke of about 4 or 5 inches from the cat not the engine side of the cat facing the bacck of the car, and when i slow down i hear like a popping coming from under the car, would the exuast being broke that close to the cat cause the poping noise?thanks in advance for any replies |

No sadly it is your back tyres being too full of air. Let some air out and it will all be fine  |
