exhaust and a louder sound
Hi all
not sure how to explain my self... but lets try
when I drive my van (2008 dodge caravan) during normal times, the exhaust sounds normal, occasionally, the sound gets louder and deeper on the left side (likely more so on the second row), but generally does not last long and goes away...
BUT, when it rains - the exhaust sound is louder and deeper consistently, and it goes away (no joke) when the rain stops...
it sounds weird i know, but what could be wrong? i am assuming its the exhaust
any insights would be appreciated - if i can fix it myself, or do i need to go to a mechanic (i want to be aware of what the problem may be)
also, my heat shield at the back (just above the tailpipe), 2/3 bolts rusted and i am using gorilla tape to hold it up.
