Hey guys just purchased a brand new 08 Civic DX-G. I made a post about this on 8th civic but I thought I'd ask people on a different forum to get more answers.

This is my first Honda and my first 4-Cylinder vehicle. Was wondering if all new Civics make this kind of "putting" noise out of the muffler? I only have 600KM on it I noticed it when I first purchased it also.

Went into the dealer to get it looked at today and you know how that goes, as soon as you go get something looked it, it always starts working fine! Well I pulled in today after a 1 hour drive there and it idled just fine, no rattle, minimal noise.

Heres a link of what it sounded like 20 minutes after leaving the dealership..
What do you guys think, is this normal?

P.S. It sounds QUIETER than it really is in the video, especially now. I'm currently at 1100 KM's and its gets the loudest when its cool at night and on cold starts. I find that after driving in the warm weather for a while it goes away.

Thanks

I think you're being overly sensitive to a car your not familiar with yet. Vid still not working.

yeep

 

Why does your car say "Sisley" ?

 

normal had it in my 93 and 97 was louder.. not as bad on my 06

 

it sounds a little loud but it can be the camera. but my car puffs a little also

 

my car sounds louder at night on cold starts as well.
its normal.

 

its normal for it to be louder when starting the car cold because it is reving at around 1400 rpms

 

sisley is a dealership here, they do that here to quite a bit of civics, ughh

 

Yeah and on sunday im removing that ugly dealership tag! Im pretty sure its just glued on.

 

Dealerships in the South and East coast like to put those f'n things on the cars. Both of the cars I bought from dealerships when I lived out there were special ordered and I had to specifically be there when they arrived to keep them from gluing their ugly badge to my beautiful black paint.....lol
