its normal. aircon runs off the engine and puts more load on the engine. hence it works harder and produces more exhaust.

I got that too, i guess it's pretty normal. I refer the aircond button on my civic as ON/OFF sport mode ; ) When I put my foot down with aircond on at first, then turn it off, there's a sudden increase in power ; )

ha yeh, its a 1hp shot of nitrous button....

yeh u will lose power wit the aircon on because it takes power from the engine to power the air conditioner..

and as weq said, the exhaust will get louder cos the engine is pumping harder to power the air con..
