Sudden Engine Throatiness

[30%lessSugar]

I was driving my IS200 SE the other day when suddenly my engine started to sound really throaty, whenever I applied the accelerator the 'throatiness' increased, I have not experienced a loss in power or any other side-effects of this noise but now my car sounds like it's been chavved - up ! Its all slightly annoying as I have just had an MOT. Could this be a hole in my exhaust? Or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it may be a hole in the exhaust to me, have you actually got on your hands and knee and had a look?

Hi Izzy, you sound a bit peeved off at me for pointing out this was an 10 month old thread.

I wasn't trying to be a smartar$e. I noticed you were new to LOC and maybe you hadn't noticed the Poster
