Exhaust leak, sounds like a beater V8....


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I got my '05 GT recently. Now it has the a PDE U/P, a Perrin D/P, and Borla exhaust. When I start it up I almost instantly get a smell of exhaust. Would this be indicative of a exhaust leak? I seem to be getting plenty of boost (stage 2 map). Of course when I am driving I don't smell it at all. Is it just the HVAC system sucking some exhaust in.....or?

 

Also, maybe this is linked, or maybe it's normal. When I drive it at low rpms in the lower gears it sounds like a beater V8 in the engine compartment. The exhaust sounds great and I don't mind the sound at all, just making sure it isn't something weird.

Borla's have a deep sound like that. If your Perrin DP is catless you will get the stinky stink from the exhaust.
enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything.

Cool, thats what I was hoping to hear. It is catless. I figured I would get a little exhaust smell, can't hurt to double check though.
