So there is a faint flutter noise that you can hear from the interior of the car. Sounds like it is definatley coming from the front half of the car. I dont believe it is a driveshaft or even drivetrain issue because when i bring the car to a stop and put one foot on the break and the other on the gas the noise is still made. If it were something other than an exahust leak it wouldnt happen as none of the aforementioned parts move when the car is stationary right?


so any thoughts where the leak would most likely be (if u agree it is an exhaust leak) and how could i check for location? headers vs housing between the headers and the exhaust system further towards the tailpipe

thanks!
 






Try running some seafoam through it and checking for leaks. How to in the vid in my signature.
