Default Sputtering noise from exhaust

Ive noticed over the past few weeks that my stepdaughter's TC has a sputtering noise coming out of the exhaust pipe. Anyone else have this? How can I fix this anyways? I suppose I should take it to my dealer soon. Besides that, the car seems louder than when I had bought it a few months back.

Basically, I've noticed the sound just out listening to it back up and in the driveway, even when its in idle. Im going to get it to the dealer, and it better not be charged to me.

No mods on my TC as well. An exhaust leak already?!!? I hope this is not what I have to look forward to because this car is only a few months old.

If its the sound i'm thinking of... my stock exhaust seemed to vibrate somewhere and it sounded like a sputtering. I could here it best at idle.

It won't be charged to you. and a sputtering doesn't seam like an exhuast leak to me. exhaust leaks are loud and very noticeable when they happen.

I had my stock exhuast only for a few days and everyone I worked with said it made a sputtering noise but just sounded like restriction in the factory muffler. I wish I could be more helpfull but I drive one of the loudest tc's on this site and has been that way 4 days after I bought the car.
