I can not find any pictures online to see if it is my c.c .. it looks like a weaved basket texture almost. I would like to know if anyone knows what this is and/ or how to fix it without paying a million dollars for a new one!!!!???!!!
Could it possibly be the resonator?? i tried finding a diagram of what it looks like and nothing looks like it.



Answer
To find the leak, make a soapy solution and spray it on the connections along the exhaust pipe. Leaks will show up by making bubbles. Auto parts stores sell adhesive tape to be a band aid fix. Best fix is remove and replace defective parts. Cannot stress enough how dangerous exhaust leaks are. Warm carbon monoxide filters up into the car's interior. Odorless, colorless, impossible to detect without a smoke detector made for monoxide. Deadly, especially in winter when we have the windows closed. Could also put the driver to sleep and cause accident that way.

help! my smoke alarm keeps going off, there is no smoke around and i tried changing the battery?

Answer
You may have a alarm that also detects poisionious gasses such as carbon monoxide etcetera..a gas you cannot smell..not all alrms just work on smoke detecting alone but also hazordous vapors..I would have someone check that out..it could be deadly..tyou could have a defective alarm..but I would see if this is a dual purpose alarm first...carbon monoxide can overcome you and family in the sleep mode without never knowing it..The fire department will usuall bring a detector in your apartment and check it for free..
