Ive noticed over the past few weeks that my stepdaughter's TC has a sputtering noise coming out of the exhaust pipe. Anyone else have this? How can I fix this anyways? I suppose I should take it to my dealer soon. Besides that, the car seems louder than when I had bought it a few months back.

 

she has secretly gotten an exhaust without telling you

 

exhaust leak

 

our stock exhaust sounds like CRAP idling, thats most likely what the sputtering noise is. mine did it before i got my megan cat-back

 

yes i have a noise kinda sounds like an air leak no mods on my tc yet . the sound seems to start when im acelerating in 2nd 3rd 4th gear

 

Basically, I've noticed the sound just out listening to it back up and in the driveway, even when its in idle. Im going to get it to the dealer, and it better not be charged to me.

 

No mods on my TC as well. An exhaust leak already?!!? I hope this is not what I have to look forward to because this car is only a few months old.

 

If its the sound i'm thinking of... my stock exhaust seemed to vibrate somewhere and it sounded like a sputtering. I could here it best at idle.

 

My brothers connection at the midpipe and axel back was lose from the factory. Made a metal on metal noice. Tightened it and it was gone. Try that

 

It won't be charged to you. and a sputtering doesn't seam like an exhuast leak to me. exhaust leaks are loud and very noticeable when they happen.

I had my stock exhuast only for a few days and everyone I worked with said it made a sputtering noise but just sounded like restriction in the factory muffler. I wish I could be more helpfull but I drive one of the loudest tc's on this site and has been that way 4 days after I bought the car.
