I also got a custom exh made and also feel its too loud, sounds pretty good when your into it but for normal driving it gets too much.  I am interested in what solution you come up with.




Hey!
What mufflers do you have? can you take a picture?
I just have straight thru resonators at the moment.
I am getting some bigger straight thru mufflers put in tomorrow :)
I just want to get rid of that drone :)

I can't get a pic at the mo, can get one later in the week for you though.  Its a cat conv, "Super Cat" muffler and a resonator tip.  I think its all 3" from the turbo back.
 
I did take it for a drive today and especially took note of the exh, cruise isn't too bad but as soon as you apply any throttle its friggin loud as, but my induction doesn't help much.

Problem: 
 
I noticed a this BUBBLING sound after turning my car off a few times now.
the bubbling comes from around the thermostat housing in intervals.
 
I got under the car and noticed this aluminium hose is leaking and has been for a while from the looks of it!
its just above the fuel tank..
what is this pipe? best way to fix it? its obviously causing a tiny leak in my system, and making it bubble?
 
Please let me know :)

Thats the pipe for the heater. Need to drop the tank to remove them.
You could just loop the two hoses on the motor till you fix it to stop it leaking

It's possible that the noise you are hearing is actually coming from the charcoal canister. It's normal for the charcoal canister to make a buzzing sound. If you hear the sound again, give the charcoal canister a tap on the side and see if the sound changes or goes away.
Of course it could be related to the cooling system, especially if you have found a leak, but it's worth checking this too :-)

Yes! I do hear that sound at times also, and it is from the charcoal canister. 
Question: the charcoal canister has a vacuum like line coming from the top of it. It was disconnected so I connected it to the Throttle body nipple. Is that OK??
