Camry 2012+ :: 2013 - Tranny Flare / Shifts Are Crisp
When cool to cold my 13 2.5L Camry SE 12k miles has shifts that are 'crisp' (not meaning that is good). It I s like it rides up to an rpm and throws on the clutch and the RPMs drop by 200rpm and then she pulls into gear. No slamming but feels like a sports car driver changing gears with just a moment of that 'transition float' between gears cause by physically moving a clutch pedal. An actual noticeable shift feeling and a moment of floating 1/2 second transition. Is this 'flare'?
I guess I could just say this... It feels like it is truly 'going between gears' rather than the typical slush sliding into gear like most all automatics do.
Golf/GTI VII :: Whining Sound While Shifting 4 First Gears?
So I took delivery of my ordered PP GTI about three weeks ago, When driving under light throttle, when upshifting or downshifting amongst the first four gears, the car makes a whining/ humming noise from about 1700 to 2300RPM. I lifted the front end of the car to check things out and noticed that the left axle makes some weird sounds. I'm hoping it's a bad CV, issue with transmission (not clutch related)?

Second gear, I am going 40mph and I let off the throttle and start engine breaking. My exhaust burbles and crackle a LOT. Now, I love the sound. But just want to make sure it is normal. I just took my rear seats out, so I am not sure if it is louder / there because of that, or its just a coincidence.
I read a thread a while back where a fellas intake changeover failed and it started doing that really loud as well.
Golf/GTI VI :: Exhaust Growl When Let Off The Gas / Sputtering Sound
2011 stock gti. Was fine yesterday before work, then after work I noticed it sounded a little bit louder, and I hear the exhaust growl when I let off the gas. Car feels a little bit different too. Slight vibration under my feet it seems.
No codes or anything. I also noticed this morning when I pulled into the driveway over the little lip at the front of the driveway the exhaust made a sort of sputtering sound.
Golf V R32 :: Quick Swish Sound As The Gear Engages When Shifting Up
I just picked up my R32 2 days ago and I notice that when it shifts up semi-aggressive (around 4.5 rpm) there is a quick swish sound as the gear engages. It sounds like it is coming from the muffler system, in the rear. What it is?

View 1 RepliesGolf VI R :: Sound Of Exhaust Suddenly Gets Deeper Under Full Acceleration
This morning on the freeway, I was going to pass someone in 6th gear, put the pedal down start accelerating like normal, then suddenly at a little over 3k RPM the sound of the exhaust gets a lot deeper and it accelerates a little bit harder.
I know that boost starts to really kick in at about 3k RPM, but I have never noticed the exhaust get deeper like that. I did it a few more times and it seemed to stop doing it. I didn't notice the tachometer jumping around or anything so I don't think it is clutch slip.
Golf IV R32 :: Bad Motor Mounts - Vibrates When Idle - Clanging Sound When Shifting Up
So I had been noticing a bit of wheel hop in third gear before my UM flash. Just got the flash a few days ago, and I love it. But since then two things have arisen:
- When sitting at idle, the car vibrates. I can feel it through the brake/gas pedals and steering wheel. I didn't notice it prior to the UM tune. It's like an undulating feeling even more than a vibration.
- When upshifting, I now seem to get a clanging sound/feeling if I upshift anywhere less than about 3200 RPMs. It doesn't always happen, and it won't happen if I'm really fast with engaging the clutch after taking my foot off the gas. But it is disconcerting.
Prior to the tune, I had gotten used to the sort of bucking and whatnot when you let off the gas and learned how to shift to minimize it. But now it isn't as easy to do a mellow, smooth upshift under 3000 RPM's...i.e. if I just want to pull away slowly from a stop. My question is, do these sound like symptoms of bad motor mounts? The car has just under 25k miles on it. The mounts are all stock. I was wondering if the UM tune was just enough extra power to put one or more of them over the edge.
Ford Exhaust System :: 1994 Ranger - Loud Exhaust Sound In / Outside The Truck And At Idle
I have a 94 ranger 4L. I am looking for a more loud exhaust sound in/outside the truck and at idle. I have had a cherry bomb turbo on it and it was ok but not loud enough for my liking. I just picked up a flowmaster 40 2 days ago and it sounds good but again just not loud enough for my taste and kinda a lot more. I was looking for a louder muffler that is not a glasspack and would like to stay under like 80 or so.
I also thought about getting a high flow cat which i think might make some more sound but was not sure. Im running the stock pipe which is 2" and end in back of the wheel on the right. I look at the Hooker Headers Maximum Flow Muffler which i thought would be louder b/c it's more straight through the muffler so it would put off more sound better. What would u recommend for something more loud ?
Ford Exhaust :: 2008 F150 - Changing Exhaust To Something Having Lower Rumble And Deep Sound?
I just got a brand new 2008 F150 supercrew FX2 last wed. I love it, it's my first truck ever and I'm excited to drive it. I wanted to change the exhaust to something that has a low rumble and is deep, not too loud or anything.

I have a 95 f150, Eddie Bauer, extended cab, 4x4, 302, 285 tires. My question is this... What happens if I remove the second cat. I am trying to get a better sound from the exhaust and have been told the second cat is making that impossible. There is no o2 sensor downstream of the second cat, so I'm thinking the computer will never know its gone. Also how well this affect power. With the bigger tires, it's kinda sluggish off the line.

So I just wanted to ask 2 things.. Am I the only person who purposely shifts at certain rpms from 1st-2nd just to hear the burble/popping out of the exhaust.. I hold it around 3k and the shift and let off the gas and it's a Orchestra of amazing noises that are Oh so addicting. Secondly, are there any negatives to doing this... Or that sometimes I hear the loud thud/pop when slowing down but not every time... What is the true cause of these glorious noises.

View 2 RepliesPhaeton :: Clicking Sound From The Exhaust
I recently took my car in for service and complained of the exhaust clicking (very audible) after the car is off. This clicking can also be heard when the car is running too - it is not as prevalent though. The service advisor said she spoke with several technicians and they said this was normal. The reason they cited was the stainless steel exhaust system in the Phaeton. They also said that humidity will exacerbate the sound.
View 5 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Clunk Sound When Shifting From P Or R To D
"Clunk" noise when shifting from P or R to D happening to me right now with my '06 GS300. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happened all day yesterday and sounded pretty serious. Took it into the dealer today, still under warranty, and of course it wasn't happening. Tech said he will keep it overnight, let it cool down, and check transmission fluid level which could be the issue. If that isn't the issue they said it could just be a "normal" sound. My wifes 2006 Sequoia shifts smoother and doesn't make a sound when you go from P or R to D ... Don't tell me it is the break pads releasing either because that is just as far fetched as the normal theory.

View 2 RepliesFord Exhaust :: Rattle Sound At Certain RPM Range
I use the term rattle loosely, as i can't be certain what the sound actually is like. I heard it described as sounding like 10 nuts bouncing around the muffler. I only hear the sound at 1750-1900 RPM it seems, and it has to be under load to produce it (I.e Regular driving), i cannot produce it while in park/neutral.
I'm fairly certain it has to do with the exhaust, now, my studs on my headers are mostly well, i have 2 top studs broken off on driver side manifold (1 each end).
Diagram:
x . . . x
. . . . .
The engine bay is a bit loud, but if it was my headers, wouldn't the "rattle" happen in park/neutral as well?
My muffler is a flowmaster, no idea how long it's been on there, as i am the 3rd owner of the truck (99' f250 v10), it's pretty rusty now.
Everything is clamped well, no black carbon marks at joints showing a leak so i figure that's about the only good thing so far.
- I ruled out heat shields, tightened all that are in good condition and removed one near the tailpipe since i dump under the box.
- Was told about the transmission inspection plate, well mine has been off for a while and the flexplate appears to have no damage/cracks and is tightened.
