Auto 01 GLE MAX

It takes a while for me to actually hear my warm low growl from the exhaust. Sometimes I hear it on start up, but usually it comes to life after the engine warms up for a while. My concern really isn't with the exhaust but rather the engine or tranny. I feel like I'm hearing too much of it. Not sure how to describe it, but it sounds extra. When the car rolls over different terrains you can here it get louder and softer with the incline and decline. It doesn't sound like it should to me and I'm not sure where i should start to fix it. Any of you guys know what i'm talking about?

Leak in the exhaust will rob a HP or 2. Get it fixed.

You can never have too much engine. The untamed roar of a VQ is incredible.
