Mine does exactly the same, mine sounds like it has an induction kit on it but it does not, my exhaust is fine, but you might want to check over your engine, i did and i found that a few fings were snapped and cracked causing it to sound louder, not actuly sure wat it is though lol so its going to be hard to find another one lol smileys/smiley9.gif
