Hey, I just bought a 2009 TSX a few weeks ago and today was the first time I heard the exhaust note when standing behind the car. It sounds a bit rough, I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a normal sounding exhaust:
Thanks

 

That's how mine sounds at idle aswell. I quite like the sound.

 

Yeah that's how it sounds. I'll never understand why it makes bubbly sounds like that lol.

 

It sounds like a boat. :P Anyway, that's fine...seems normal.

 

Same here.

 

Same here. Gave it a few revs in the garage a week ago and it sounded a bit weird going back to idle.

 

The exhaust sounds totally normal.

The other with the revving and the letting off, the k series with the DBW throttle is known to hold the throttle plate open slightly longer, the forums call it rev hang. I believe this is related to emissions.

Both sound like a pretty oem sounding honda motor.

Do your maintenance, and let the good times roll.

 

Figured it was normal, it's just weird. lol. Especially the ending grumble from revving.
