Title: Exhaust sounds deeper when clutch disengaged

Has anyone else noticed this? Depress the clutch and the exhaust note changes slightly

Normal.  Pressing the clutch pedal down puts a lot of load on the crank, therefore slowing the idle speed slightly and consequently the tone of the exhaust.

Mine changes tone with the clutch pressed, it's normal.
