Bought my 2019 1500 5.7 Big Horn in March. 24500 Miles. March and April were still fairly chilly so didnt ever drive with the windows down.
Now that its nicer out ive noticed my exhaust makes what sounds like a hiss or whooshing sound when accelerating or accelerating under load, about 1400RPM especially. I never hear the sound unless im driving next to parked cars or curbs / barriers. It almost sounds like an exhaust leak, yet I cant find any leak at all. It seems to be coming from under the truck and is equally pronounced on the driver and passenger side.
Just took a road trip and got 20MPG, so I dont see much drop in performance and was actually really happy with that MPG
I can not recreate the sound in park and revving. Ive read on some forums that it is just the sound the truck makes, especially as noise resonation would probably be coming of the Y Pipe. Ive never had a truck let alone a Hemi. Maybe im just not used to the sounds of an exhaust like this. Its honestly driving me insane not knowing what's goin on or if its normal.
Any help is greatly appreciated
ALSO seems to be more pronounced in lower gears
