I got a 97 Ceica GT that hisses when it's cold but when it gets warm it stops. It sounds like it's coming from under the car somewhere. I'm thinking it's a leak from the exhaust pipe but if it was then it would've been hissing still even if it was warm right?

Are you sure your not just hearing the intake pulling in air in? mine with the sri is really loud at start up Yes I'm sure. I listened carefully all around my car and I can hear it mostly when I'm at the back right wheel by the exhaust pipe. I can also hear it when I'm in the car idling. I get the same thing but its definitely from my intake. The hissing is really noticeable on startup. However, it could also be a small exhaust leak in your pipe somewhere. The metal pipes expand when they heat up and this could plug a very small exhaust leak and cause the hissing to stop. Yea. I was thinking that too. -------------------- |
