Hey guys,

Recently my ej8 has started making a very odd sound with the engine..

To explain the noise, it sounds like v-tec is engaged but im only doin say 2,3 or 4 thousand RPM..

My guess would be that either i have a whole somewhere in my exhaust system or my timing belt it stuffed..

Any suggestions?

if there was an issue with your timing belt your engine wouldn't be running.

more likely there is a hole in the exhaust. Take it to an exhaust shop and they will be able to tell you.
