EYE_WHY Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 After a recent offroading session during which I bottomed out and got stuck a few times, I noticed my engine had a way different sound to it. It now as an underlying deep throaty chug as if I put some new muffler on it. Hopefully nothing to worry about? Nothing seemed to be wrong with performance, just that louder deeper chug. Maybe just an exhaust leak or I whacked somewhere that put a hole somewhere in the exhaust system. Actually sounds kinda cool but I am still a little concerned about what I may have done.

wesley willis Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 that happened to mine, i put a hole in the muffler though. it wasn't really a throaty chug, more of a small-engined airplane drone. tough to explain. you look at your exhaust system. start at the y-pipe. does the heat shield look damaged? is everything (y-pipe to exhaust) lined up correctly (bolts)? does the muffler look damaged? sorry about the disjointedness, its tough for me to make sentences sometimes.

EYE_WHY Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 sorry about the disjointedness, its tough for me to make sentences sometimes. No worries, I never complain about free help! I'll give the exhaust system a full lookover tomorrow. I just hope I don't mess up anything major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYE_WHY Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm thinking an exhaust gasket somewhere came loose or split off? This is pretty loud almost and I really need to try to quiet it down a bit. Anyone have ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
