Iv'e noticed a kinda scarry noise coming from either the trans or the bottom end of the engine. at anywhere between 1200 and 1800 rpm there is either a grinding or rattling noise. it is only there when i am on the gas and dissapears soon after that. the car rides rough which probably has something to do with it. has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution. hoping this isn't an extremely large problem. i can do most type of work myself but am open to guesses on what the noise could be. thank you.

 

I've had that noise too....I think it was the heat sheilding on my Y-pipe or but I've also heard it is possible that it could be the rear exhaust manifold heat sheild also. it seemed to disapear after I got rid of my stock Y-pipe though.....

 

 

 

go back to the 5th gen forum!!! :P and Jason guess what.....I finished the car yeasterday, thought it was ready to get back on the road, but now it looks like the new injectors are the wrong flow rate or something, car stalls out on me constantly....more downtime

 

oh damax03 yeah I'm pretty sure it is just a loose heat sheild on one of your exahust componenets, check the post you put on the other 3rd gen board(Rosenken said the same thing!!!)
