Thanks for the reply... Ugh, hoping it's the first one... I took it off today and have ordered the new part, so hopefully it'll fix the issue. I've read that the pipe can fill up and become clogged with soot, so I stuck a long vacuum hose (only thing I really had) and it felt as though it went all the way to the cylinder head, that's good? or should it go further?
