In order to verify this, position a friend or relative under the running motor car and accelerate to help them locate the source of the hole. Once located, if it is not too large you can cold seal it with specific metallic mastic type legs. Otherwise, the section will have to be swapped.

The other possibility of being the subject of a muffled exhaust noise on Tesla Model 3 is to have a part of the exhaust device that has dislocated because of vibrations for example. In fact some junctions of the different parts of the pot can loosen with time and induce an exhaust gas leak in places not intended for this goal. These fumes will then make a loud noise. Same technique as above, we go under the Tesla Model 3 to discern the problem area, and tighten or swap the bolts. If you hear a muffled sound but after verifying it doesn’t seem to come from the pot itself, think about taking a look at this article which gives solutions gives solutions about rear end noises on Tesla Model 3.

If, on the other hand, you are exposed to an exhaust sound that is more of a metallic type of, it is plausible that one or more parts of your exhaust may be weakened. Indeed, it is conceivable that either your baffles, the catalyst or the silencer are the reason of this noise. To be certain, go under your Tesla Model 3, cold, and tap each of the previously stated parts with a hammer to discern the source of the noise. You should move things between things in the problematic part, if they are baffles, you can try to push the section a little bit to try to block them and thus limit their movements. If it is a out of date catalyst, it will be necessary to consider changing it, as well as the silencer. In this case, to stop the exhaust noise on your Tesla Model 3, you will either have to find a used one and do it yourself, or go to your technician.

Finally, a metallic exhaust noise on your Tesla Model 3 may be linked to a poor attachment of your exhaust to your car. In fact, over time, vibrations, the pot fasteners on the car chassis can come off. In this case, you need to examine, when cold, that the pot holds well, to try to get it to move in different directions and watch how it reacts.

Visually examine the fasteners for which you have doubts. Finally, it is possible that a silentbloc may have died . In this case it will have to be swapped.
