Exhaust Snapping noise under heavy acceleration and cold start
I just got a new catback exhaust a few months ago, the Spec D N1 knock off. After I got it I noticed that there was a weird almost snapping noise under moderate to hard acceleration but only between around 2,700 rpm and stopped at around 4,000 rpm. When I am cruising and accelerate it makes that snapping noise again. It isn't like a Honda rasp. It's a strange sound that I never had before the exhaust. I now have a WORKS Motorsports stage 2 turbo kit on the car. I was hoping that would help with the snapping noise but didn't help. The headers I bought and dual resonated front pipe didn't help either. The car performs great but that snapping noise drives me nuts. Has anyone heard anything about this dilemma before? If so, what fixes it?

So, if you take that cat back off, does the "snapping" noise go away? Is the "snapping" noise like in the exhaust note or more like an exhaust leak? Can you take and post a video? humfrz |

It's definitely not an exhaust leak as I have gone over every gasket on the car and felt for leaks everywhere. I will go take a video right now

You say it also makes the snapping noise on a cold start. I suggest you make another video at a cold start .. that will eliminate the wind noise. humfrz |

It sort of sounds like to me an old 1940s car with a straight pipe, not a pleasing sound. My only suggestion is to switch out the cat back with another muffler to see if that will keep that sound from coming out. Others will want to know what type of header and front pipe you are running. Knowing this may help sort out the sound. I'm not an exhaust expert. For all I know, that's the way a Spec D N1 knock off cat back sounds .. Maybe help will be along soon. humfrz |

Possible direct injection seals taking a shit..
There was a thread with a video on the noise it makes that I can’t find now of all times and I know there’s another thread with video on how to replace them just do a quick search. If it is your problem it’s fairly easy to change. Also what serpentine belt do you have? I’ve seen some really shitty belts at work that cause an electrical discharge and make the same snapping noise. Doubt that’s your problem but hey anything helps when you’re in the dark right lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Probably not nowadays belts last a lot longer then before and as for the correlation between the exhaust and the noise it could just be coincidence I’ll look around and see if I find the thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm also going to try and put on my stock catback with muffler delete to make sure it's the spec d exhaust not something else
