There is definitely something up with it. It makes strange noises and the fumes don't come out smoothly, it kind of fires out in bursts.
Don't forget that over time carbon build up may change the sound of an exhaust's original note. Without other symptoms being evident, it's likely that you're overthinking it. It sounds nice and meaty to me.
There are a few things that might indicate it isn't just paranoia!
1.Coolant loss started with no external signs. Tried three different caps.
2. not so long ago (miles wise) previous owner had complained of poor running and garage said just keep an eye on it.
3. Not so long ago a code for a misfire on cylinder 4
I changed spark plugs and waiting for a fuel filter to change. Air filter was cleaned out. But when I first had the car after a while the IACV would need resetting as it would frequently get stuck at 1000- 1100, so I'm wondering if it is something to do with that, or if a cylinder is starting to misfire.
It is hard to explain. When you start the car up it starts about 1050 - 1100 revs and slowly drops, as I would expect. Idling at these revs the noise isn't present. As it drops to about 850 RPM that is when it starts. You get the normal noise exhaust noise then all of a sudden three or four boom booms or putt putt noises in a row where it shakes a bit. Longer you idle the more frequently the boom booms happen.
