Downshift noise?
« on: September 21, 2010, 09:00:28 PM »
Ok, I am gonna try to describe this the best I can. Lets say that BLAAAAAHHHHHH is the sound of the exhaust then when I downshift it sounds like this BLAHHHHHH BLAAHH BLAHHH BLAAHH BLAAAAAAHHHHH. Get it? Go ahead, Flame on................

I think this means I have a leak in my exhaust correct?

So it barbles?  That's normal if you have a performance exhaust.  Even a stock exhaust might do it on a downhill.

No performance exhaust at all. And it does it any time I down shift or use gears to slow down. Down hill or not. I don't mind it too much but it is kind of annoying when it does it down every side street. I did just replace the muffler with another stock model. But it did this prior, just much louder due to the huge hole in the muffler.

Mine doesn't do it on a downshift unless I tap the gas pedal after the downshift, then it pops BLAHHH BLAHHH BLAHHH..

No hole in the muffler. I just replaced the muffler. The old one had a fist sized hole.

not to worry you or anything as mine does that too (maybe not as obvious but i know exactly what you describe) - could be an injector leaking or squirting as the fuel is cut down quite a bit in engine brake

If it is the throaty BRUP BRUP BRUP coming from the exhaust, I would not be too worried; I have had it happen before and after the exhast change, the cat change, the injector change, the adjustable FPR change...  You get the idea.
