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?

 

its the exhaust, check for leaks

 

Just replaced mine a month ago because of a crack at the last flange...

 

have the same issue... and it was pointed out to be a leak somewhere .. so trying to fix some other stuff first... good luck

 

hmm. so I should be worried with my exhaust huh.. I'll check there first.

 

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

 

its more like +100hp to ricers.

 

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

 

You got a point there bud!

 

I love flooring the ol girl, and hear that extra growl from the CAI shiver*

 

I almost wish mine still growled, lol

OP does your car sound like this?
