Nissan Pixo loud exhaust and error

I've got a 2013 Nissan Pixo with a gasoline engine and 187040 km on the clock. Recently, the exhaust is much louder than usual, especially after a cold start. Also getting an error. I suspect it's the exhaust flaps. Anyone else had this issue? Any advice on what to check?

I had a similar problem with my old Opel Corsa. Loud exhaust and error codes. Could be an exhaust blockage. Is your engine performance suffering at all?

Engine performance seems okay so far. What exactly was the issue with your Corsa, and what did you do to fix it? Was it the exhaust valves themselves?

Yep, turned out to be a defective exhaust flap in my case. I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop, especially if you're getting error codes. Might be more complicated than it looks.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to a workshop, and you were right, the exhaust flap was defective. They replaced it for 190€. Runs like a dream now!
