I have a wierd problem...I have an HKS Ti and when you blip the throttle now it is making a different sound then normal.
I have had the exhaust for several years and it has never made these sounds...it doesnt sound smooth..it kinda burbles and has a pop /backfire near the end...it basically sounds completely different as of 2 days ago vs all other times...
I had put a tank of gas in it recently from a station that I have never used..and I took it on a road trip to attmept to get the car tuned...when I got to my destination I noticed the sound..I wanna say that the car feels down on power also...could be my mind because of the sound..but it does feel lower..
I ran a code check and all I got was my cat codes...I have test pipes..so thats normal..no misfire codes or anything like that.
It doesnt sound like theres a hole in the exhaust..but it almost sounds like a. it is rubbing something underneath although I cant tell ...it really sound like a human when hes getting a cold and you have flem in your mouth..u can hear it when you breathe...same thing..its not smooth it sounds like something is in there...
Any ideas based on the info I told you ?
I dont want to bring it to Nissan because I still have a warranty and I dont want them to void..I dont believe its serious...but dont know where to start to look...
THX for any ideas..

Seems that it was only an exhaust gasket issue...mine has a break in it..So I believe a new exhaust gasket will fix this issue...
Will the same size gasket work ? I dont need an HKS one right ? I kinda know the answer to this stupid question but just want to make sure.

What I meant was I'm not gonna use the stock ones... Just wanted to make sure I didn't need hks ones or that they would be some weird size.. I'm gonna go to my local perf shop to buy a new set and put it on and see how it works out
