Steve, Did you notice a drop in power when the sound changed? Even though your shop tells you otherwise, I would suspect a leakage somewhere. Maybe in the exhaust manifold up front?
Do you have headers or are you using the stock downpipe? There is also the flex joint on the downpipe that can leak when ruptured. Also check your exhaust hangers. -Les -----Original Message----- >From: Anthony Pelletier <[email protected]> >Sent: Jan 10, 2007 12:26 PM >To: Steven Arguello <[email protected]>, A2-16v-List ><[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Loud Exhaust > >Do you have a cat?
