Exhaust Noises
Does anyone hear a loud thumping noise coming from their stock exhaust if you go down near the exhuast. it sounds like it's working really hard. or is that normal on the tC because of the design?

is it more of a thumping/purring? there is a *puff puff puff puff* noise that is because of the sporty exhaust that would cause a cool sound.. try and have someone blip the throttle and listen.. i bet you hear the exhaust get sporty.. let us know..

It's probably just some resonance from the engine at the idle rpm. I doubt it's a big deal, but on a side note, it's nice to see you got your car. I hope there weren't too many hassles while taking delivery. And don't inhale too much exhaust!

honestly it was the worst service i have ever seen in my entire life. i don't know how they stay in business. even after all the trouble i went through, they continued to give me trouble for every little thing, they even had the nerve to try and overcharge me for an accessory. the only reason i decided to go with them because overall i got a good deal from the very beginning. it wasn't easy getting it but i got it. unfortunately i still have to get some problems fixed.
but on a side note, the scion HQ actually called me back to see if I got my problem solved. and they said they would call me wednesday to follow up on my situation. pretty good service. too bad the dealership's service sucked @$$. i got no type of compesation whatsoever.
and about the exhaust it does sound a little louder than other cars when its idle, but again i don't know if this is normal for tC's because of the way its setup.

can anyone confirm the sound? i just wanted to make sure it wasn't just mine. all you have to do is go out turn on your tC, go to the back, bend down and listen to the exhaust. is it somewhat loud?
thanks.
