Is the car supposed to be loud?

I mean it's not an sc/tc but an n/a but damn, at around 4k rpm the car is loud. And that is one thing i dont like. When cars have loud exhaust. Is there a way to tone it down?

As far as I know it is stock. I'm not completely sure about the previous owner. Well my sister was the previous owner but she didnt mod it. As for the owner before that, I don't know. I'll look into this whisper

Well that depends on where the hole is and how big it is. Honestly there's not much we can tell you with no information. Could be a gasket, could be a busted flex pipe, could be a blown out muffler or resonator. All with different costs to fix. A video of it when it is this loud might help.

Does your exhaust look like this?



If so, it's stock, and if it's loud, you probably have an exhaust leak.

If there's a leak in the muffler, easy fix is to just get a new muffler put on. Or if it's small enough to patch.

Now we are getting somewhere. Now poke your head under the car real quick and see if there is a name on the muffler and tell us if there is a cat on your downpipe

I know when I busted my cat last year that it got progressively noisy over time. Finally had GM cover it under emissions warranty.

That looks like just a tip on a stock exhaust, you prob have a hole somewhere in your exhaust system then.
