Anyone know why my V6 would make a whooshing noise when booting it past 4k rpm?

Could i have a damaged breather pipe?

It seems to have occured since changing my cat back boxes over the weekend, but i guess the blowing exhaust could have been hiding the whoosing noise.


The car seems to run quite well...

all miggys make a whooshing noise when booted then its usually followed by a weee noise from the driver..

Dual ram opens up at about 4k rpm

That did cross my mind, although i never thought i would be able to hear it.  When i do hear the wooshing it feels like the car is about to take off, so i guess the dual-ram is doing it's job.

Hi, my 2.5 V6 makes the same noise, I thought it was maybe something to do with a breather as it sounds a bit like it's air being sucked through a small pipe and gets louder to almost a whistling at the top of the rev range, my 3.0 V6 is a lot quiter though, was going to get it looked at at the next service.....  but that isn't for a little while.

I had an exhaust like a string vest and timing kit needing doing. Also a noisy water pump and aux belt tensioner. Now that all of these have been changed I now have the woooosh sound. Boy have I missed it and it is reassuring too have it back
