I got my 2008 TL 3 weeks ago. I notice when driving in lower RPM I get lots of drone. It sounds like the exhaust was modified but I thought maybe its normal.

Well today was a nice day out and I rolled my windows down and it does not sound stock at all. Its raspy at lower RPMs. When it starts up it starts up with a deep growl. I don't think thats normal because I heard my friends Tl start up and its not loud like mine.

Does the stock exhaust have lots of drone at low RPM and have a deep growl to it at start up? When your driving at lower RPM are you able to hear the stock exhaust inside the cabin? Even with the music up when cruising at 50mph I hear the exhaust note in the cabin.

if it looks stock you might want to check and see if maybe you have a hole in the exhaust or something

...lol. but seriously take some pics of under the car and any of us here will be able to tell if its been modified. by the way u describe it, seems like it is not stock because before my exhaust was on i hated how quiet the car was.
