Re: Did my car de-snork itself?

the de-snorked sound is more of an intake sound than an exhaust sound. it's easy to tell where it comes from (driver's side air intake)

the closest thing i can think of is the sound of V8 engine with the air filter removed so you could see the carburetor and somebody stomps on the pedal. it's a heavy intake sound with a huge volume of air.

could have you have gotten a hole in your muffler or pipes somewhere?

maybe check your air filter? did the mechanic leave it out or could the paper part have gotten sucked in?

just thinking out loud.
