exhaust manifold?

Post by runnyD »

Im having a fluttering sound under heavy acceleration from the engine bay. I had the similar sound when I had a DSM and was told it was the exhaust manifold gasket. Does anyone have this problem and do I just have to live with it?

What model and year is it? I had the same sound for a while and it was a weld on the Y-pipe that cracked. I Mineke touched up the weld and the sound went away. It cost me about $40.
