PPod Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Ok so my exhaust is fairly loud and today decided to put both my windows down as i was going through a tunnel(as you do in a z) and as i put my foot to the floor in 2nd gear i could hear a fluttering noise under my seat. Is this an exhaust leak? Or something else. Cheers for any help Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I had something similar a while back (not in a tunnel though) and shortly afterwards needed a new y pipe.....not sure what exhaust system you are running? might be nothing. Get something similar in the Scooby but it is the reverb off the fuel pump (and more of a whoosh than a flutter).... Quote

GMballistic Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Plastic bag stuck under your car. Just a guess. Quote
PPod Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Cheers guys. Hope its a pidgeon getting fried haha. I have a custum dual stainless exhaust with ebay hfc. Also noticed fluttering from exhaust exit more than usual when car is idling after long drive. Going to see if theres any exhaust specialists near by. Thought it could have been a loose part underneath but dont see anything. Quote

thedon Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 My guess is the Y pipe too - mine was rusty and holed and I heard a strange whooshing noise at speed from what sounded like the bottom of the driver's door. Since replacing the Y pipe I've not heard it again. 1 Quote
PPod Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Yep was the y-pipe. Going to get it sorted soon 1 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Are you replacing like for like or going for something a bit different this time??? Quote
PPod Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Might go for the stillen one as it most popular. Any others out there that will give me more noise? Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Loads of threads on here about which y pipe is best - everyone has an opinion lol Stillen is good, I have a Cobra....all give slightly different tones depending on the rest of your exhaust system. Good luck & glad you got it sorted quickly Quote
