hi,
I was driving my car when it hit suddenly a metal scrap on the road..the scrap got dragged along with the car for some distance when it got disengaged off its own..Since then my car is making a lot of noise(it seems as if I am riding a motorbike)..Can you kindly tell me what could be the possible cause of this noise and how much would it cost to get it repaired
thanking you
regards

HI there,

You will need to get the exhaust inspected, depending on what has failed, this will determine the cost, any mechanic can quote this for you, but they will need to see the damage first.
