    What car is it? where did you buy it what warranty was offered? Why is the exhaust blowing, did you hit something or did it start of its own volition?

    As Rebel said, it depends on the warranty. If it's a fairly regular insurance based warranty (Mapfre and the like) I suspect an exhaust would be considered a wear and tear item, similar to a shock absorber or a brake pad.

    I suspect it might be excluded but it can't hurt to try with them.

    Are you sure its even a blow and not the dirty secondary airpump? Makes them sound abit rough when cold and a few pops and bangs from tailpipes

    Warranty might cover that. Worth checking with your local dealer.
