Sound coming from under the hood?
I have a noise that sounds like an exhaust leak from under the hood.
I thought it was from were the cats meet the RV6 jpipe, so
I replaced the gaskets and nothing changed.
I don't drive it hard and it only has 62k miles.
Any thoughts on what else it could be?

Both, when I accelerate is when i can here it.
Its coming from the side of the engine that faces the front of the car especially under load.
For example when I am in 5th gear at about 2K rpm and floor it, I can really hear it.
I swore it was an exhaust leak.
I hope its nothing serious!

At normal acceleration, it's not bad.
It's only when I give it a lot of gas in a higher gear when I don't down shift.
Maybe a loud fuel injector?
I don't know!
Im afraid to take it to the dealer because they say its one thing, try to fix it, it not work, then suggest it could be something else after you paid for the first try.

Make sure your plugs are tight!

Just a slight update; I went ahead and replaced my plugs and gaskets for my jpipe since the rear one was in pieces when I installed my atlp exhaust. I had one loose plug and thought that would have fixed the problem. After I finished I went for a drive and it was still there. So plugs arent the issue.

I wonder if this is the problem.
This tread came up wit a result that I hope is not the problem .
It was a loose bolt in the rocker arm.

after taking it to the dealer, they said there was nothing wrong with the engine.
They said it might have something to do with the RV6 J-pipe.
It told them that I just replaced the front gaskets.
He said to try the rear one.
He stated that even though it sounds like its coming from the front, it could be from the rear portion of the pipe and echoing into the front.
I guess I will have to order the rear gasket and see if it works.

I hear ya man, I took my vehicle into get a problem fixed. They told me what my problem was and I paid to have the work done. When I drove off... guess what problem was still there! Nothing more frustrating. Hope you get it figured out.
