So two days ago I got my stock exhaust put back on by the lexus dealer.

A day after that I was at a red light when I heard a loud POP and it sounded like a boulder had hit my car. Nothing seemed wrong with the way it drives but I noticed as I pulled out of the garage this morning there was fluid on the ground towards the passenger side. Would anyone have any idea as to what might have happened during that loud pop? I took a quick glance under the hood and didn't find anything

 

What color is the fluid, or is it just water?

 

yeah, oil? coolant? Washer fluid?

need more deets.

Then go under your car and take a pic of what is wet.

 

I'll have to check on the fluid but didn't see any color on the ground. Also I noticed a burning smell near the engine when I open the hood

 

Just curious, why did you have to go back to stock?

 

I'm wondering if one of the exhaust hangers popped off? Does not explain the fluid though.

 

I had the ark exhaust but it was a bit too loud for my taste. I scheduled an appointment with a lexus dealer do you think I will be covered under warranty if I had an aftermarket exhaust?

 

If they are cool it should be fine. Just bring it in there for the issue and don't bring up the aftermarket exhaust.

 

The fluid could easily be water from the exhaust, and the pop sound an exhaust gasket blowing out...
