    Crazy "cold" exhaust tone...

    I initially wondered if it was the fuel pump, but it's definately coming from the exhaust...

    I present to you, my alien spaceship exhaust tone... WHAT is causing this? vibration frequencies??

    It sounds like it stopped as soon as you closed your door as well. Well, sounds like it time to get rid of that overrated Flowmaster and go with a loudmouth!

    The whoo whoo video kind of hides anything useful I might have said-although I wouldn't rule it out.

    More than likely a hole in the exhaust somewhere and as it warms up the hole closes.

    I would not rule out a pin hole somewhere but it sounds mechanical. I didnt hear you shut your door but it did change after you hit the gas. To me that seems like it was going into closed loop idle. Which means my $ is on the air pump/smog system.

    It sure could be the air pump. It only runs for a couple minutes on cold start up. Pull the air pump fuse, I believe it's under the hood, and try again. That will probably set a code, but at least it will confirm/deny the cause.
