In the past day or two, my '02 Falcon AUIII has been playing up. The standard noise you hear when you accellerate, seems to be much louder and almost like it's inside the cabin? Seems to be coming from in front of me, possibly near the accellerator itself.
Anyone know what's going on here?  : |

Could be loose inlet manifold (though it would be running rough) or possibly loose exhaust manifold.

Problem fixed!
Went in to Ultra Tune, immediately said something about the exhaust, had a look under the bonnet, all it was was a loose flange (bolt) just beneath that big metal silvery looking thing below the radiator, he got a wrench, tightened it up, noise gone!  That was the quickest and cheapest fix ever... You guys are smart  _
