Cube exhaust flap issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2011 Nissan Cube (gasoline engine). It has 236066 km on the clock. I'm getting an error related to the exhaust flaps. The exhaust is also louder than usual, and the engine is noisy after a cold start. It seems like the exhaust flap might be defective. Anyone else experienced this?

I had something similar with my Cube. Louder exhaust, especially on startup. Check the flap motor. They're known to go bad. Is it throwing any specific codes?

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm not sure about the exact code right now, but it definitely mentions the exhaust flap position. Is the flap motor difficult to replace?

Yeah, sounds like the same problem. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it yourself unless you really know what you're doing. It can be a pain to get to, and you might need special tools. I ended up taking mine to a workshop.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. I'll take it to a workshop then. I just got a quote for 190€, including parts and labor. Thanks again for confirming it's likely the exhaust flap!
