Default Re: exhaust leak.. i hope... (vettekid98)

Does it make the sound in neutral as well as in the various gears? If so, I'd agree, it's probably the exhaust. If it only makes the sound while driving (i.e., in gear) than it is probably something in the running gear, not the exhaust. If it only makes the noise in neutral, it is probably the exhaust and you most likely just don't hear it in gear due to road/wind noise.

Either way, even if the new exhaust doesn't fix it, it should at least cover it up! :crazy:
