I foolishly dropped my peugeot vivacity 50cc on my front lawn the other day, not on the side where the exhaust is though.

Now whenever I start the engine and ride it the exhaust makes a very loud rattle noise as if something is loose. I know next to nothing about mechanics so need help Crying or Very sad

thanks in advance.

not to sound like a dick, but have you checked all the relevant nuts/bolts and made sure they are all tight ?

Hmmm, I reckon something is probably loose, not idea how to fix that however.

Thanks for the replies.

It seems that where the the exhaust is welded together on the pipe going to the main exhaust part, it has cracked and has holes in it. Also I still think there is something loose inside.

Do I need a new exhaust?
