I recently had my clutch, release bearings and gearbox replaced as they were knackered (67k miles, layshaft problems).

Prior to getting my gearbox sorted I had a Jetex exhaust put on it, sounds fantastic, noisey as hell.

However since getting my gearbox sorted, I am experiencing a lot more engine noise coming from my footwells. Yes the noise of the crap gearbox has gone, and I have no gearbox noise whatsoever, but the noise from the footwells is fairly noise.

I'm not sure if this is exhaust related, bearing in mind I had the front silencer removed too, any suggestions??

i've narrowed it down! went out at lunch, and in the rain can hear a heck of a lot of road noise! could it be that some of the sound deadening wasn't put back after gearbox install?
