This makes sense, sometimes it takes a while for exhaust seals to seat properly. There is a lot of movement in the exhaust system.PC05 wrote:Exact same thing happened to our pathy, took it back to dealer, put it in the air ran it at different throttle positions and you could hear a low grumbling at certain RPM's but no tech could ever find anything loose or any holes anywhere. After about 2000 miles it has gotten better. Nobody can explain it, other than "new tranny mated to 7 yr old vehicle it is going to make some noises", this is what one of the techs said.
man, paying the dealer is not fair in this situation. i have experienced this too on my car and i refused to take it to some expert so i tried it out myself. im not quite sure with what i did because i just researched on the internet but i think the problem was solved for now. my exhaust doesn't make weird sounds anymore. lolglockshooter wrote:Seems like ever since I got the pathfinder back with the new transmission, I've heard an exhaust leak. I can't see anything obvious, definitely not the muffler. Does anyone know if the exhaust gets separated or anything when you drop the transmission? I'd hate to take it to the dealer and either pay though the nose for a cheap pipe, or pay someone else for something the dealer did. Any ideas?
