Are you sure its exaust? Could it maybe be the air control valve relieving? There is an approx 1 inch dia black hose coming out of it, and the other end is under the r/h fender/bumper. Those of us who have not lost a lot of their hearing might be able to hear that air control valve exaust sound. Then again it could be the exaust.
