My Max has developed some kind of noise at around 2200 RPMs and I cannot pinpoint it. It's only audible when driving; when in P or N the noise is not there. Can this be the drone from the exhaust? What does drone sound like anyways?
Can a stock intake make that kind of noise?

stock 95 GXE
90,000 mi.

 

a drone would come from the exhaust

aka y pipe and the catback... even oem

 

could the exhaust drone be accompanying by slight vibrations?

how about the stock intake - could it make noise?

 

if its a deep sound it could be your muffler. do you still have the factory one? check it for holes

 

Yeah, I still got the factory muffler and did I check it for leaks, but couldn't find any. The noise is not that loud and I think it can be heard more inside the car then outside.

 

It sorta goes like,

"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

 

Nah, it's more like
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhheeeeeeewwwwwuuuu uiiiii..."

 

or...


baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You might want to have your's checked out.

 

I was not worried when it was just "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh..." but when "...eeeeeeeewwwwwwwuuuuuuuuiiii..." got slapped to it, that got my attention.

On a more serious note, I found this in one of the threads here:

It basically says that carbon buildup in the intake and on the valves can cause noise, so I was wondering if anyone has any more info on that or a personal experience to share.

 

It sounds like a really good Bowel Movement

 

You may be running a little rich, there. That, and you're running on only half your strokes.

 

 

Come for a ride in my Max, and you will see

 

i'm not sure how it sounds like, but it looks like the car in my sig

 

and them a big boom.
