07 Ion exhaust leak

[suvman]

My wife drives our 2007 Saturn Ion 4 cyl, 4dr. I got in it this morning and I can hear a leak when pressing the accelerator pedal. It appears to be manifold or donut gasket to me. Any ideals? Any known issues with exhaust. I hate to have the dealer check it to see if it's emissions warranty and then say no and give me a $100 bill for looking at it.

Saturns are pretty bad about the catalytic converter flex pipe gettin holes in them. Emission parts are warrantied up to 100,000 miles. Not sure exactly how your vehicle is set up but most converters on the saturns have flex pipe right where it bolts up to the exhaust manifold and also right where it bolts up to the exhaust pipe
