    Exclamation Can purge canister make PV muffler sound different???

    I got my truck back from having the purge canister replaced and I had to check to see if they took the PV muffler off, it sounds totally different, not as throaty and less resonation. I know the purge canister has something to do with exhaust air output, but that is all I know about it.

    Why did you need to replace your purge canister?

    They said it was FULL, or defective. It made the check engine light come on, the first time I took in for that they had to replace the purge selenoid. Anyway, driving home from work tonight I noticed that does sound about the same, guess I did not get to open it up on the highway until then.

    Should not be able to hear anything - full or empty. Glad you checked that the PV was still there!

    It is only a joke, 'Ironboy79' posts on the club v mag forum. If you read his stuff you may get it, accept I can spell better, I think.

    Not even close -- you can spell, use correct grammar, and punctuation, and actually make sense when you write.

    VX crazy,
    My apologies. Sometimes I'm not very quick.

    And I see nothing similar between you and 'Ironboy79' .
