it might sound weird but there is something like hair coming out of my exhaust, i only noticed it today after my gf noticed it...she found it funny :roll: .

can anyone tell me if its the car or someone playing a prank??

thanks in advance.

That'll be your baffling mate. It's sound deadening in your exhaust.

Once it's out the only affect it will have is it will be louder.

If the baffles come out and block the exhaust it can do damage! but it will proably just get noisy, Rarely fails MOT, just advisory.

Ah really? How come?

I wouldn't worry about MOT so much, it should pass fine.
