exhaust problem?
Well I just made the biggest mistake with my rx. My girlfriend wanted to learn how to drive manual, and I've taught a couple people before, all went smoothly, but my girlfriend was just AWEFUL! It was shaking so freaking much that I think something came loose or fell apart, because after one shift, I start hearing a sound like my entire exhaust system fell off. When I'm in the car I can hear a bad exhaust sound comming from the passenger floorboard, and outside I can hear it comming from anywhere under the car. I can't see anything wrong with it, and I still have exhaust comming out of both mufflers, but I really don't know what to do. I know that most of my exhaust system has to be in pretty sad shape, when I replaced my mufflers the old ones were totally disintegrated inside. What could be the problem? Any ideas? And do you guys think I should keep driving it daily or wait till I get it fixed? I do have another car I can drive if thats the case, its just not as much fun.

any other ideas? and which exhaust gasket is it usually? I can't really tell exactly which one by listening/watching the car running, I just get an area where there's like 2 or 3 different gaskets.

amen to that
But i tried putting my hand around the joints, all I could feel was heat, but I didn't put my hands all the way around it so that could be my problem, the car is just so freaking low. Oh well, maybe when I jack it up I'll be able to tell better, or maybe I'll just have to replace all the gaskets in the area? There's only what, like 3?

Yes. 3 exist on the stock exhaust I believe. I would just replace all the gaskets if they have not been replaced recently. It is better to do them all at once and know they are all done.
I have exhaust leaks like a mad man, but I am not too concerned with it at this point. I have to fix my oil cooler.

like i said. unless she knows how to drive a stick or can drive well enough to get in any car and drive it perfectly, than i would let one drive my car.
example. my brothers wife. shes a woman. yah yah yah. she used to drive a honda sivic stick. (ok.. good enough.) she then drove his modified integra when he still had it ( even better ). then he sold it and got a wrx and modified the hell out of it. she can drive it just as well with 350 hp under the hood. ( she won the right to drive my rx7 )
there you have it.
