Anybody ever get "puddle growl" ?

I was driving through a freakin hurricane yesterday in my Legacy, and after driving for about a mile of standing water it started getting noisy.

We can add that as "reason number 700 why neons and subarus are kinda similar"

my leggy has splash guards under mine... i would get beat down if i ever said neons and legacies are the same here lol

If by similar, you mean they both have internal combustion engines that are effected by water, then yes :lol:

My car runs a little rough and grumbly after sitting in wet conditions as well.

My BE didn't sound any different after I submerged the entire thing up to the windshield for a few seconds.

Mmm, I think i'm going to have to get that borla knockoff after all, because the exahust still seems to be leaking a bit.

I have had that - hit a good puddle and it sounds like the exhaust is up against the body for a minute or two. I always wondered what the hell it was.

Heh, the car is still noisy, and i think i have it narrowed down to the gasket after the cats. Still going to order a header for it. ^_^

Yeah, that wasn't "puddle growl", it was "busted flange growl".

I'm sure i could have fixed it cheaper but i ordered a new cat since the heatshield is missing off this one. Also ordered new trans mounts from subaru, we'll see if those make the car idle a bit better.

Did you order a stock cat?

if I go up in the mountains during snow season, in deep snow, I get snow growl. :lol:

Yeah i got a bosal. The flange is welded and about a cm thick so i don't think it'll fail in this car's lifetime.
