Thanks luigi, in fact an exhaust and tune are definitely on the way over the next few months and am confident that a tune can fix this. However, it is strange that this symptom was not present before(or at least is not something i had noticed), and all of a sudden does this. From what ive been reading, other people have had the same thing happen, where their car has been fine and then notice this. Not trying to be a d!ck, just pointing it out. Thanks for your reply. Any additional input will be appreciated.
