So my little 2007 Yaris has developed some exhaust noise over the last several months. After inspecting the exhaust system, I did not find any holes or damage. My suspicion now is that a gasket is at fault. And It doesn’t seem like the usual ticking leak of a manifold gasket failure.

It sounds ‘breathy’ and ‘raspy’. It also only really occurs during acceleration. The faster I accelerate the louder it is. So I’m suspecting the doughnut (flange) gasket needs replacing. What does everyone think? Correct assessment?
