I believe that sound you hear is not from the muffler, but from the diverter valve (DV) what that does is divert or recycle excess air pressure. This sound is normal. Read all about it (and then some) here:

thats is a perfectly normal noise . when i first hear the noise when i took it for a test drive i knew i had to have it .

I am pretty sure you are hearing the report from the "noise pipe" also called the "Y" pipe. It's a wasteful little pipe that the Engineer's put in so you get a bit more "rumble" in the cabin from the exhaust.

I loved the sound too for the record!!

I think he was talking about the little "fart" the car gives off especially from 1st to 2nd.

Yeah, I noticed that little queef too. I think it sounds cool.

you can hear the diverter valve after shifts starting at around 3k rpm.
