It got up to around 90 herr in St. Louis and had to crank up the AC. I think my exhaust tone changed when my car got cold inside. Did my exhaust get deeper or is it just my imagination??

Sounds like something that happened to me last week. I ran around my car counter-clockwise 16 times and it feels like I gained 18-20 rwhp.
I highly doubt that is anything but your imagination.1993 3.4 <br />Borla rear section<br />3 inch Catco High Flow Cat<br />2.75 inch I pipe (Picked one up from an LT-1 guy for a whole $10)<br />K&N Fipk <br />180° T-stat<br />Jet Stage II<br />10 Spoke Z28 Wheels<br />NGK\'s, Taylor Spiros<br />Mobil 1 synthetic<p>Email Viper2@chesnet.net for 4th gen replacement parts. -

Naw, it's true. With my cutout opened, if I turn on my A/C, the tone of the exhaust gets deeper and the "gurgles" are more spread out. It's not just my imagination either, my g/f noticed it, and some friends noticed too.Kyle M<br />--------------<br /><a href=\"http://grdws6.netfirms.com\" target=\"_blank\">2002 Trans Am WS6</a> (silver, A4) - lid, cutout, stage 3 shift kit, 12 bolt, vig 3200, tranny cooler, bmr sfc/stb, torq thrust ii. <b>12.688 @ 106.47mph -=- 1.756 60\'</b>Comment

I think its that fact that there is more of a load on the engine when the A/C is running. Think about it, when you sit in your car and rev the engine its not as loud or deep as when your accelerating hard on the road. Or maybe I'm just [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

I wonder if that crack you smoked made the exhaust tone deeper?
;)
Any time you put a load on the engine, the exhaust tone deepens. The compressor does just that. The engine is working harder to acheive the same RPM, thus the deeper tone.

YUP turned my AC on last week and my car sounded better! I think it is due to the excess load, course i could feel the power loss while its running.
PS- leave my crack pipe out of this!Comment

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
