Noisier Exhaust

[kenfoxy]

Just noticed, as my wife was reversing out of the drive, that the exhaust was slightly noisier on her IS200 (Y). It is a nice sound that can't be heard whilst driving. Had a look at the back box and can't see a leak. Funny thing is that the car is going really well, in fact the best I have known it. Could it be that one of the baffles has gone and made the system less restrictive.

Has anybody else had this situation?

I'd get the car on a ramp and check for damage or holes in the exhaust system.

How many miles has your car done? Mine has done 132k and its still on the original exhaust system.

Thanks, will have a closer look. The whole system looks rock solid and the car has only done 55K.
