Is this caused by an exhaust leak? is the car running to rich? Is this normal, does anyone else have the same sound?

I contacted the company who I bought the exhaust from (they also did the install) but I haven't heard back from them yet. It's been a few days so I thought I would try to get an opinion from the experts on the forum.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey bud, sorry that I haven't gotten back to you. It has been very hectic since we got back from the long weekend. Since you are local and I did the install, I would like to hear it in person if you have time. It is not common but always a possibility that something could of loosened up. As a matter of fact, I will just give you a call right now...

Thanks, Tony
