Strange Noise
Hey everyone, thanks for the welcome. I have a 1996 MX-3 RS auto. No turbo nor any mods. 130 000kms
There is a weird noise that happens when it goes from 2nd to 3rd gear if I really step on the pedal.The sound is strange, like a broken Turbo hiss. The noise isn't there if I drive like I'm 80 years old and don't accelerate fast, but I like to gun it! Mechanic thinks its a problem with the exhaust and wants to swap it for a new one for a grand. Any other suggestions to check? (I've been browsing this site and I already know of the common thing to check the air boot for cracks/leaks.)
Best regards all,
JC
We can also use this thread to post about other owners' car noises/rattles for discussion. Thx.
