When I first start the car, every time I'm between about 2500RPM-3000RPM the exhaust makes kind of a 'whispering' noise.. can't think of a better word to describe it :blush: . Anyway, usually once I get to about 4th gear, it doesn't happen anymore and won't happen again until next time I start the car again

Does anyone know what might be going on? I have a feeling it might be because of that valve thing in the right exhaust pipe but that's just a wild guess cause I don't know what that thing does. I hope someone can help me out because it's pretty annoying

it sounds like it's leaking.. leave the car on idle.. and put your hand near all the joints see if air or noise is comming out..

cover the exhaust tip with your foot/hand or something that will seal, if its an exhaust leak.. you'll hear it.

I have a feeling its something else..

See if that shounds familiar

will it do it only when you start the car cold? or every time you start the car? if it is only while the car is cold, then a gasket is probably going, but it only has a tiny hole and once the metal heats up and expands it is sealing the hole back up. get some exhaust cement and go round all the gaskets and see if it goes away.

Hey thanks for your help guys,

I checked out that link, and although it sounds a lot like the problem I've got, it's not really a metallic noise I'm hearing. It doesn't matter if it's the first time it's been turned on for the day, or if I've been driving round everywhere, it just always does it. But it always goes away once I've driven down the road :dry:

I'll try sealing the ends with my hands, maybe in the morning when it's cold :D Otherwise if I can't work it out, I might just get a new exhaust

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
