I have been told its one of two things.. first incorrect back pressure on
the exhaust system,leaky cat, pipe and/or muffler.
The second was told to me todo t\with the oil level being a hair low, say
half a quart or type being used, not heavy enough.
Just things I was told, Id on't really go by them.
