does your engine/exhaust get louder?

[AdamRoutley]

iv noticed when iv been driving quite hard for about 15-20 mins, as i start driving around 15-20mph, my exhaust/engine seems a lot louder (deeper wise) dosent sound r##ked off, sounds mint real loud hum...i have a standard fr 180 petrol..

is this standard for all leon FRs? or is mine special

Mine is the same. It gets boomier once hot.

I can only assume this is related to the metal heating up. (That or we're imagining it).

 

[cupra jay]

yea i would think its down to the exhaust expanding

A hot exhaust always sounds different to a cold one. Same applies to cats too. When you have let everything heat up you'll find it sounds louder when driving and idle will have a deeper burble to it too

mines sound louder and bubbles abit more than usaul in this hot weather espicaly when drive abit harder than normal.
Settles down later on though, nuffin to worry about!

I believe its a combination of the engine revving better due to lower friction and that the exaust system like the cat warming up and allowing better airflow.
Also I may note that on a cold start the auto-idle will kick in so the car will run a tad bit leaner till the engine is up to temprature.

Awwww... cats are so cute.

I made a complete tit of myself about 4 yrs ago on the Escort Mk5 register. We were chatting about revving on your driveway just to hear your RS2000 roar (lol) and I said I don't do it often, but I Love the look I get from my old-man neighbour and someone said, "Not to mention the damage done to your cat!"

I said, "Yeh well... it runs away everytime it hears my car engine. Stupid thing."

No amount of trying to talk my way out of it helped.. I was branded an uber-noob.. And rightly so! What the hell was I thinking?!?!! :'(
