I know the 95s did and I guess the insides can break apart and melt down, causing an exhaust restriction, which makes the exhaust have to escape before the Cat, through the manifold to headpipe donut gasket (which is only spring loaded tension), so the exhaust can escape in the form of a hiss or as you put it; a swoosh '95 CONTOUR SE -Enkei 16s -Porsche944 Exhaust tip - Audi xenon projector headlights -Peterbilt 30" air horns -mp3 Aiwa headunit (150 songs on one disc) -dual 10s -soon to have LED tailights (real kind, not just gay bulbs) -That's it for now

Another possible source would be the hoses that go to EGR pressure transducer (DPFE) from the EGR valve-to-exhaust- manifold tube. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 110,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 125,000km stock CD on LS, cass on LX spoiler, tinted windows on LS only 4 wheel discs on LX only All other available options on both
