Strange sound coming from rear end (of car!). I think it's the exhaust..

I've had the greddy for a few months now and just last night it started to sound...........different.

When my foot is on the gas it sounds exactly the same as it always did. But when my foot is not on the gas and the car is just cruising
a new sound emits from the exhaust now.

The sound is extremely hard to describe and the only word I can think of right now to describe it is "annoying".

Have any of you Greddy Catback owners experienced something like this?
and does anybody know what might be causing this?


Thanks in advance....

maybe you have a leak or rattle.
Try getting some exhaust wrap and wrapping the flex sections of your b pipe and such.
Good luck

if it was a leak then wouldn't I experience power loss?

cuz I walked an '01 eclipse from 70-130mph last night on the BQE.

In fact, the car feels great....just sounds funny when I let off the gas......almost like a whining or a moaning from the exhaust.

maybe it isn't the exhaust??

i don't think an exhaust leak would cause a power loss that would be really noticeable???
