Is this the normal sound???
Is this how everyone else's exhaust sounds like? I've never paid attention to it before. It just sounds kinda odd to me...

maybe your cat is carboned up or simply going bad. Also, maybe you have a very minor misfire.....

I know my cylinder 1 had a misfire when I got a tune up, but I took it out and put it back in with a friend of mine who was a mech and it never made that sound then.... It does sound like a minor misfire. It hasn't triggered the engine light, so I don't know. lol I thought about running sea foam through again...

Well that's my main concern is if it was normal. Thanks Onewing. 
So my next question should be, should I get this looked at or not? It doesn't seem to be much of a problem as the car drives fine. Gas is a seperate issue when driving through town, but I don't think it's something that would hurt my gas mileage...
I'll do another video clip of the engine and the exhaust and get some good angles of the engine and see if anyone notices anything odd.. lol The engine does tend to stutter a bit and it seems to do it when that sound comes out of the exhaust... |

Sounds like a misfire. Just becasue you don't get a check engine light doesn't mean that you don't have a misfire. Like theedgeofsamity said a very minor misfire.

She also seems to idle a little rough so I might get her checked out or at least go talk to a shop about it. See what they recommend.
