Still seem to be getting it sounds :( :( as if it from under the car near the front  around cats or pre cats . Was thinking could be a hole in pipe.

Any ideas.

Looks like i may have come to the bottom of things, had it on a ramp and checked all looked well cats pre cats fine, but where the old system conected up to the new stainless one it was letting out some gas ( black sout marks on clamp) Sealed  and clamps put back into place so will know later when take car out for the 1st time in the evening .
