Does your SLK 32 AMG make this sound?
This is going to sound a little dumb. I'm on my second SLK 32. My first one I had a few days and it was destroyed in a flood so I never really got to drive it very much.
Anyway, the car that was detroyed was a 2003. I couldnt find a firemist anywhere at any price to replace it so a dealer told me about a 2002 with 3400 miles on it. I bought it last month.
At about 2200 RPM's the exhaust has a raspy/resonating sound. Once I get past 2400 RPM's, it stops. For those of you that race, it sounds sort of like a Formula Mazda or RX7 when they rev the engine and let off.
It really sounds like a ricer at 2200. Is this normal? If not, how do you fix it? Can you take it back to the dealer and tell them you don't like the sound of the exhaust?
Thanks

Try looking at the following web page:

It seems it's a common problem caused by the close proximity of the rear exhaust cats. Mine suffers from it as well during warm-up. One day I will get round to opening up the gap slightly.
