I think I have an exhaust leak on my GT, sounds like its coming from the front of the H pipe, near the cats. You can only hear it when you are revving it with the door open, not while your inside the car. Doesn't seem to make any difference if the car is hot or cold. Some have said that a " tingy" type sound is normal with x and h pipes, what do you all think?


Thanks

To really tell if you have one, get the car up to around 40-45 and go into fifth so the engine is under load at low rpm's. You should the leak clearly if you have one. Itll sound like a loud ticking with an air passing type of noise. Hope that makes sense
