Got the car out this weekend to take into town and come back and as I pulled into the alley way in which my drive way sits in, I noticed a hissing type noise that would follow suit with rpm's, when rpm's go up the sound went up and was very noticeable at idle especially in the garage.
I live about a mile and a half from a Grease Monkey and took it there to ask for their opinion(probably a bad choice on my part and a waste of time) and they got under it and looked and couldn't see anything and their response was "well it sounds like it's coming from the transmission".
My first thought was what in the transmission could possibly make that sound and nothing came to mind, especially since I could shift through all the gears fine and can't hear any other noises from the clutch or trans, I just had the clutch replaced last year.
I opened the hood and you can barely hear the noise, realistically all you can hear is the pulleys turning and then the fans coming on.
I got underneath and it seems like the sound is coming from where the engine and transmission meet, and I am beginning to think that the exhaust is leaking at the manifolds, since i have changed to off road x I have not replaced the gaskets nor did I replace the gaskets when switching the catted h on there to run emissions then putting the off road x back on.
Is it possible that it is an exhaust leak at the manifolds?
I am buying a catted h from a guy off of SVTP soon and am gonna take the off road x off for good and will more than likely replace the exhaust gaskets.
Sorry for this being such a long post I just wanted to give as much details as possible.
Here is a video I took, apologies to those for my car being dirty:
