Dude hasn't been here for 6 years so don't hold your breath on an answer. As for where to start this thread already said it. Check for blockages.

I don’t think there are any blockages as I didn’t notice power going down, and you can see all of the fumes going from the exhaust.

I’ve looked inside the exhaust tips with camera and flashlight, and nothing’s there.

It happened next day after tire change, could it affect it in any way? I switched from winter 215/40/18 to summer pilot sport 4 225/40/18

So is it exhaust that is quieter or just less road noise? I know there is a massive change in volume when I go from my winter tires to the summers. That change can mess with your head!

It’s definietly the exhaust that’s quieter. Before, I could hear a really nice and loud engine Noise inside my car when going over 4k rpm. Now there’s barely any noticeable Noise. Also, immediately after changing the tires, I drove the car back to my house and I could definitely hear the engine sound.

Also, I popped the hood, turned on the car (cold start, so 1.5k rpm), and I think the loudness was as always, it’s the sound that I hear inside the car (or with open windows) when driving that sound quieter.
