    A strange one.....don't know if the engine mounts are causing this.....but when going around a roundabout a bit on the fast side ofcourse....i hear some exhaust gas coming from out from the from the exaust.....i think it's coming from the manifold or summit perhaps something needs a tighten up...but only happens when going around a bend at speed ......any thoughts or suggestions b4 i take a look ?

    It could well be an engine mount. Grab the engine and see if you can wobble it about.

    Also might be a bolt missing from the manifold to downpipe, if yours is of that type.
