Wierd Exhaust Noise
Hello,
I am wondering if the noise coming from my exhaust sounds normal. I have a 2005 RX8 auto transmission. This sound is after a long drive with a mix of highway and city driving.
Here is the link to the video:

Any ideas?

Only thing I can think of is the cat material is falling apart and restricting flow.
And this is creating inconsistent "pops".
Have you noticed a decrease in performance?
Might be a shot in the dark, but if you have a local 8 that has a spare mid-pipe or cat, ask if you can throw it on just to see if things change.

It doesn't sound particularly good. It's hard to tell from the Youtube video, but an ignition issue could cause similar behaviour (I had times where my FC sounded like that).

Really? So, missing/backfiring like that is not normal? (I'm not trying to be funny or anything, this is a serious question). Mine has been doing that for a couple of months now.

The video I was responding to had a bit different sound then the normal idle burble sound. The sounds were not your average noise coming from a rotary engine exhaust.

Exhaust upgraded to exotic speed for 6 months now and everyday or so i will here a small backfire when I shift. Usually when I am on the gas hard and shift i hear a small pop pop backfire. Usually happens only from 1st -to- 2nd & 2nd -to- third. I think it's due to giving a lot of gas during acceleration, but Is this normal ?
