I have a 2004 with 2000 miles and at 70 MPH and 2000 RPM, under power, not coasting, the engine drones and the droning gets louder as the speed increases.

Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks. sad.gif

by droning, do you mean a hum? or something that sounds liek a low bassline on a subwoofer?

my car ahs that low bassline sound, and it turns out i have a leak in my flexpipe thats causing it.

please describe more. It may be a new thing, or could be one of the following:

1. vibration (around 65-70 at 1800-2200rpm)
2. clunk (might not be this, but it's the feeling of a "rear end hit" from the rear driveshaft at a stoplight)

and many more..... but not related to this.

I have the drone also. They have a TSB for this. Its a common problem. Is it a 04 ?

So if it is more of a vibration around 65-70, what would you think the problem might be?

The vibration is attached for all, I had the similar problem, and the differential dampers solved the issue. Hoping it does for you'll.
