My MG ZS TD exhaust snapped clean off last night just after the de-cat pipe (middle section about an inch past the brackets) Anyway just in case anyone was wondering what that would sound like > courtesy of my mobile phone & YouTube...

What a row 
...I had the entire backbox fall off a Fiesta once, (my first car) ...it actually sounded a hell of a lot better than the huge exhausts most chavs seem to stick on their carriages these days, made little popping noises and even backfired on me when slowing down a couple of times when going to get a new exhaust fitted. It wasn't a diesel though.

Pft. My old 205 used to do that with a fully working exhaust.
Hehe, much better than the 'manic bee' droning & buzzing sound you get from Chav cans and the like.

I never understood it though, stock exhaust, decent state of tune and it'd pop and backfire for some reason. Still, was amusing.

I have a nice blow going in front of my back box at the moment, and the back box is in none to good condition either. I like it.

Should have bought a more reliable car, these alfas are always falling apart
But I've been waiting for an excuse to take it to a powerflow fitter.

Indeed.
I've got the same car, hope you have a remap!

One of the funniest things Ive heard is when my friends exhaust manifold on his 1.0 nissan micra (when we were at college) detached itself, so the exhaust was coming straight out of the engine into the engine bay. Sounded like a bag of nails, but noisy enough to sound like a lemans car.

It's a Rover 420 diesel with MG badge, bodykit, suspension etc. It isnt a diesel sports car or anything like that.

I had this too with my old Megane. I wouldn't have fixed it so soon if it weren't for the fact the cat was knackered as well along with the exhaust, which sapped quite a bit of power
