STE1991GrandPrix Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Well as I was taking the trash down to the dumpster tonight I left my car running when I went to unload the trunk. When I got behind my car I noticed a little whistle type of sound, I followed it and it was coming out the end of my exhaust (kinda going to the raspiness, the car idles a little rough and when you hear it pick up it whistles.). The tip isn't clogged but would this be a clogged cat or muffler, If not what could it be (hopefully you say it is but be honest, I'm taking the cat off the car and just running piping and putting new muffler on it tuesday... I love not having emmisions testing, Thank you wyoming). I sat there when I got back to my house with a WTF look on my face trying to figure it out... Thanks for the help anyone can offer, Eric.

STE1991GrandPrix Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I just finished with the exhaust on my car, and to my suprise the muffler my friend gave me actually sounds good. But the whistle was coming from the muffler, on the inlet there was a crack and when I removed the 2 bolts holding the muffler up in place it fell onto the ground (the exhaust pipe on the muffler was so bad it actually broke off under its own weight ) But I did remove the car and then installed a used Greddy dual chamber muffler, it doesn't buzz suprizingly, it actually has a really agressive deep idle and when you mash the petal it has a roar to it. It was actually suprising to me on how it sounded (I was expecting it to sound like my friends civic it came off of.) Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 i have a whistle on my car that started right after i installed my FWI and it is just the sound of the filter sucking air in the fender... i think it sounds like a supercharger so i am not going to do anything to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
