Not sure why but it sounded like it may have had a manifold leak

Yeah, I kind of thought that there is an exhaust manifold leak also. I would need to hear it a little longer to be sure.

You guy amaze me.

Manifold leak maybe. You could hear that! Crap. I'm lucky to hear the rumble.

It sounded nice to me.

I may have to start mine do a walk around and post the sound.

Amazing people on this site!!!

I don't hear any leaks, meself....I think the audio from the cellphone may not be the best quality, and the location of it just gives the exhaust a little different noise. What I hear is the two sides burbling....
Also, if this thing still has a heat riser, that will effect the sound from the passenger side until it warms up, so you may be hearing the heat riser valve muffling the pulses from that side.

Either way...it sounds otay to me! Thumbs Up
