Muffler gurgling?
 
Hi all
Our first winter in the snow with'18 tlx.
Started hearing this gurgling sound from the driver side muffler. Something wrong ? Is the muffler about to fall off??

See short video

I'd bring it back to the dealership to get it checked out.

Still gurgle after a long ride?

it sounds like water, will monitor it next couple of days. You can't hear it inside the car. I just happen to step out the other day while engine was running and that's when i heard the unusual sound.

Did did you ever find out what was causing the noise?. I had a similar thing with my Nissan actually the exact same thing, the dealer claimed a stone had just gotten up in there was causing the noise and said that people pay a lot of money to have their muffler sound loud like that. No thanks. Anyway, the noise went away for a few months and now it's back so I know it's not a stone unless another stone got up in there. It's not as loud as before but I just don't want to risk that it's a hole in my muffler which can be very dangerous because of the risk of fumes coming into my vehicle.

Just a speculation. Water vapor can condense in the exhaust system on occasion. Cold weather short trips might not generate enough heat to burn it off.

it was just water as I no longer have the issue after driving around a long time. it only happened that couple of days last year when we had cold weather and lots of vapor/smoke trying to push out of the muffler. I expect to hear it again this winter.
