Throatier is a good way to put it! Exactly that. How did you end up fixing it? Is it a big job? Did you also see any other weird issues before you sorted it?

Yeah, pretty sure it's the same flap issue. Honestly, I just took it straight to the workshop. Saved myself the headache. They replaced the defective part. It's a pain to get to. It could be exhaust repair in your case.

Cheers! I'll take it in then and get it checked out. Appreciate the help! Just got it back, 190€ later and it's all good. Turns out the exhaust flap actuator was busted like we thought!

Dude, I had something similar happen on my Genesis! Is it like a deeper, throatier sound than normal? Was checking exhaust components and the flap actuator, and yeah, sounds familiar. My exhaust noise was crazy loud. Any loss of engine performance?
