I sprung an exhaust leak somewhere in my S2000 (2006, only 8k mi). Yesterday I was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for over an hour. When it finally let up I accelerated (quickly...) to highway speed - and immediately heard, smelled, and felt an exhaust leak (it sounds good, but, I know it's not good).

Has anyone had any experiences with what the weak links are in the S2000 exhaust system? Any suggestions where I should start looking? Exhaust manifold gaskest, catalytic converter, pipes, muffler?

Thanks!

 

I assume that everything is stock? Has the exhaust been apart any time?

There's no real weak link. It's a pretty simple design.

Do you still have warranty? Take it in and get it fixed.

 

The exhaust system is completely stock, and has never been apart.

I'm taking it into the dealer this week, but, it's on the edge of the warranty expiring (time, not miles).

If there was a weak link in the system I would look for the leak myself. I guess I'll see if the dealer will honor the repair under warranty.

Thanks!
