I changed the air filter on my 2000 Outback wagon and it seems to have
caused a change in the in-cab sound of the engine. Now when I give it a lot
of gas I hear a low frequency sound -- not really "throaty", but the kind of
sound I associate with, say, a souped-up Honda or Toyota.
The filter I changed was pretty dirty, so it could just be that it used to
make this sound when clean, but I don't think so. And there are no other
symptoms (mileage is same, no smells, etc.) I double-checked to be sure the
filter is properly installed and tightly sealed.
Does this sound normal? Abnormal?
Thanks!
