Question Is it suppose to be like this???

Ok. So I took my car into the Mazda dealer ship a while ago and I had a new clutch installed and I had them resurface the flywheel. But when I got it back the car sounded A LOT louder. My car now sounds like it has a exhaust, I love the new sound but I just don't know if it is ok, or if it is messing up any thing. it vibrates some now also so some of the things that I though that could have happened would be maybe they didn’t resurface the flywheel evenly. Or they didn’t totally hook up the exhaust all the way because they haft to remove the exhaust to get to the transmission.
If it’s not bad then I don’t want it to go away because it sounds really nice. But I don’t want to be causing more and more damage to my car.

well unless they installed an aftermarket exhaust while they did this work....i'd take it back and see what's going on from the dealership. a lill odd it did this right after they did the install...you are probable right they probable didn't tighten the exhaust enough when they put it back on. just my thoughts on it

Yeah...what army said. If the car feels odd or different to you, take her back to the dealer and speak directly to the service manager. He/she will be able to talk you through the repair process they took and hopefully explain to you what and why your car feels the way it does.

Good luck!!
