Is this the normal sound???

[cavaliers60]

Is this how everyone else's exhaust sounds like? I've never paid attention to it before. It just sounds kinda odd to me...

uhm...mine sounds better than that although I have no clue why it had that dull popping noise. maybe its your camera? but yeah...mine's alot smoother sounding than that

[cavaliers60]

It's not my camera unless my ears are just as bad. lol It better not be my camera cause it cost me $500! lol It's my exhaust for sure. I'm not sure what it is... Could it be some sort of sensor going out???

[TheEdgeofSanity]

maybe your cat is carboned up or simply going bad. Also, maybe you have a very minor misfire.....

[cavaliers60]

I know my cylinder 1 had a misfire when I got a tune up, but I took it out and put it back in with a friend of mine who was a mech and it never made that sound then.... It does sound like a minor misfire. It hasn't triggered the engine light, so I don't know. lol I thought about running sea foam through again...

hmm i'll take a video of my exhaust tomorrow

[cavaliers60]

but is yours 3400???

[Onewing91]

mines 3400, and it definately sounds smoother than that, sorry I can't be much help, but good luck

[cavaliers60]

Well that's my main concern is if it was normal. Thanks Onewing. :thumb:

So my next question should be, should I get this looked at or not? It doesn't seem to be much of a problem as the car drives fine. Gas is a seperate issue when driving through town, but I don't think it's something that would hurt my gas mileage...

I'll do another video clip of the engine and the exhaust and get some good angles of the engine and see if anyone notices anything odd.. lol The engine does tend to stutter a bit and it seems to do it when that sound comes out of the exhaust...

but is yours 3400???

-edit- ill post mine when i can............

Sounds like a misfire. Just becasue you don't get a check engine light doesn't mean that you don't have a misfire. Like theedgeofsamity said a very minor misfire.

woops ya mine may sound a bit different, supercharged, four cylinder, etc.

[cavaliers60]

[01silveralero]

She also seems to idle a little rough so I might get her checked out or at least go talk to a shop about it. See what they recommend.
