    I found a fatigue crack in the metal bellows in the crossover exhaust
    pipe going from the front to the rear of the engine. The crack went
    about halfway around the bellows and was fairly tight with little
    apparent leakage. Auto Zone and Pep Boys do not sell just a bellows
    repair kit. I got a price on the entire pipe assembly. After regaining
    conciousness, I called a friend who operates an auto repair facility
    with on site manufacturing of exhaust systems a specialty. He cut off
    the cracked bellows and welded in a replacement. Total cost $100. The
    "moan" sound is gone.

    I can't imagine the noise. You focus on the air and fuel systems; are
    you
    sure of that? Could it be exhaust system?

    Sounds like you should find a different dealer for service.
