Hi everyone, I've had my rx8 on the road for about 1000 miles now. When I bought it, it was taking longer than most to start hot or cold. I replaced the ignition coils and all was well. That was about 500 miles ago. Now I am noticing that the car randomly takes longer/shorter to start. It doesn't seem to matter if the car is hot or cold, some times it'll take 2 full seconds, other times it will start almost instantly. It also idles a bit rough from time to time, also randomly. It's not enough to shake the car or anything, but it is noticible. The main thing though, is that it sounds like there is an exhaust leak of some sort.
It feels like I have a slight loss of power, although that could be my imagination. The car holds idle rpm well, and dosent stall. The car also seems a bit louder exhaust wise.
This all happened rather suddenly, about 3 days ago. The new noise I am noticing is most noticible when the engine is dropping back to idle rpm from revs.

I did not replace the wires or plugs when I replaced the coils, so I have those coming in on order right now, and will install them when they get here.
If that dosent solve the problem, I'm not sure what it is. Unlike a normal exhaust leak, I can't seem to pinpoint it. It seems to resonate along the front part of the exhaust system, from the engine bay to the cat. A quiet but noticible "ticking" that varies with Rpm.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Exhaust leak? Or ignition issue?
