My car has the faint dreadful puffing sound coming from the right side of the motor. I stuck my hand up around the exhaust and could feel air blowing in a steady stream. It wasn't hot air or coming out in a quick puff, puff, puff like I would think escaping exhaust gasses would be.
When there is a load on the motor when accelerating the exhaust note becomes very deep and loud. Like the sound of a Harley with open pipes. Once up to speed it gets really quite. Am I doomed??? |

Is it a 2.7? If so, JP may have diagnosed it. Could also be an ordinary exhuast leak at the head. If you have headers you should be able to look up there and see black where the leak is. A lot harder to see if you have heat exchangers.
Noise under load, quieter on slack throttle, sounds like exhaust, not head. |
