Weird Exhaust Sound

GeauxChadE90 · 05-01-2008, 09:49 PM

i noticed today when my dealership fired the old beast up that when he pulled it up, the exhaust sounded farty, a little like a rice rocket...it sat and idled while i went in to turn in my loaner keys, and when i came out it was gone. Does this have anything to do with the car warming up?

Exhausts will sound more raspy when cold. I've definately noticed it in my car when I have the window down but it's still subtle. Usually, it cleans up after a few minutes. Maybe you just never noticed it because you were always inside your car when it's cold.
