since ive installed my ypipe... ive noticed that the engine runs alot louder w/ the a/c on?

is this supposed to happen?

in other words.. it drones alot more than w/ it on than it does w/ it off.

 

Well when you have the a/c on the car needs to use more of the engine to maintain the speed you are going. Also your car should idle alittle higher and this could contribute to the droning.

 

i hate the AC compressor
soo loud

 

yea when my AC compressor is off I can barely hear the motor running... but once I turn it on, it's as loud as my mom's 4cyl saturn SL1 oh well, it's hot as hell so i dont let the noise bother me..gotta keep cool

 

yeah what they said. the AC runs off the pulleys, i think, to compress the air. so the engines rpm raises to make up for the lost power, therefore making it a bit louder. thast why you get less mpg with it on too.

 

Damn A/C...you don't need it. j/k

 

I love my A/C compressor.
I cannot go without it here in July in Mississippi without it. I would just melt into a puddle and slide out the door.

Mine is louder too.
I don't like the sound, but I love the feeling.

 

I loved how my car sounded with the AC on. The exhaust note was awesome. Ah, the good ole' days.

 

How can you say the car sounded good witht eh AC on, that thing sounds like the engine has no oil at all.

My car runs pretty loud and def don't like the sound of it. No choice though 90 degree weather and 80% humidity kills you out here

 

With the A/C on, do your cars feel like they run "Not as Smooth" ?? I can drive around all day without the A/C on then I click it on and my car doesnt feel normal any more...just not smooth

yeah it runs slightly rougher, nothing thats too bothersome, its also louder beacuse of te compressor, but also tehrs another fan running so you hear more air flowing

 

with the A/C on it feels like i have a car full of people.
