why is my galant engine so loud when accelerating?
Asked by tg11 Mar 28, 2008 at 10:26 AM about the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
when pushing the gas petal/acceleraing, the engin is just loud! Its a 4 cyl. Sounds like a muscle car and its not the muffler. When I reach desired speed, it levels out and is quiet again. I know acceleration can produce more noise in any car, but Ive never hear an engine this loud. The car runs great.

Could also have a small leak in the manifold or one of the pipes. Not all loud exhaust noise is caused by muffler alone. I would have the exhaust system checked out completely.
another thing you can ceck out it the hedder! if there is a small hole it will sound like it is comming from the engin and it might loose a little bit of acceleration
