Bass from my exhaust wtf - Solved
« on: September 10, 2018, 11:20:12 am »
Stupid title, but that's literally what it sounds like. I'm getting this intermittent thumping sound from the back of the car that kind sounds like it's coming from my exhaust. It happens randomly when moving or completely still, so I don't think it's the suspension, but I haven't been able to hop out of the car and catch it going on to pinpoint where it is.
It's not throwing any codes, my oil is topped up, but it sounds awful.. it's loud as itshay.

Googling thumping sounds all comes up with suspension issues, which I've had in the past and this isn't the same.

I'll likely have to take it right to a shop, as it's gotten worse the past few days, but I'm wondering if anyone has any clue what it might be? I'm not keen on driving it too much.

Maybe a misfire?  Aftermarket exhaust right?

Shouldn't it be throwing a code if it's a misfire? And yeah, aftermarket turboback.

Did you get your exhaust from... The Techno Union?

Jellynuts what. Also didn't recognize you without your ball smashing gif.

I have already told most peeps, but for the sake of not leaving this a weird mystery; Turns out someone had shoved some dirty assay thick cloth in my exhaust and it was flopping around, blocking airflow. I don't think I have any haters nearby, so I'm not sure how/when/or uckfaying why it happened, but I'm grateful it wasn't something worse. Everything is back to normal after we pulled the exhaust off and got it out.

What in the uckfay?
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

That's pointing at her exhaust?

At least they didn't key the car.

I try to make a point to drive respectfully in residential areas, as well as downtown around work, particularly with WSC stickers on my car. So maybe someone was just having a bad day. I'd take this over being keyed for sure.
