Hey guys,

Im new to the 7 scene, been having a couple issues with mine but thats another thread!

Ive noticed my exhaust note changes pretty significantly after about 4000rpm.

It goes much louder and a slightly higher pitch.

I know it seems dumb but it this normal?

4000 rpm is about when your secondary turbo kicks in. More air, more exhast flow, etc change the sound. Unless you have a boost leak or mechanical problem the sound change is normal.

 

Awesome thank you!

I thought it was but just wanted to make sure. Ive had people tell me that an exhaust note change can indicate issues

Do you have a boost guage installed?

it is probably as ronarndt described, but if you revving high with light throttle + no boost and getting a tone change, could be something else..

 

What else could it be? Theoretically

Yes I do have a boost guage!

 

if you are at stock boost levels make sure the boost pattern is correct ie.. 10-8-10 psi
