Thread: think i f****ed something up... help

so after going into some deep snow last night, and doing some donuts im having problems with my car. Im definitely hearing an exhaust leak that i think is coming from the downpipe on the headers, maybe the flex coupler, thats one noise. and when i lean into the throttle theres this loud whooshing/screeching sound.. i have no idea what it is. help!

I did some donuts on FB you can see...and I ended up hurting the power steering and CV's...as for the whining...my PS did it for like a day or two after and I think it was just from too much strain on it...but that's just IMO...

yea but doesnt it not make sense that it isnt doing it at idle?

Maybe you did mess up something past what I've experienced...must be something engine related if it is doing it at idle...how about a video?

no i said it wasnt doing it at idle... i think i figued it out though. im pretty sure the whistling/whooshing sound is just from the exhaust leak which i think is coming from the connection where the resonator meeets the downpipe. so i dont think my problems are too bad
