Hey guyz,
just wondering if you could help put the finger on what could possibly be causing the engine noise, heres the details......
I have a 1997 series 1 VT SS 5ltr and about 4 months ago I put a new set of porcelain extractors on with a new exhaust and ever since I did that i've been noticing a rather annoying and noticable noise from the engine. I'm not sure if the noise was there b4 i change the extractors if it was i'd assume the the old manifold was just thick enough steel to lower the noise to a point where it wasn't heard from inside the car (not sure).
Now I know its not the extractors or exhaust leaking from joins etc. but it does sound like a fluttering noise like exhaust leakin however its not. when i say fluttering i mean to make the point that its not really a tapping noise.
I first assumed that it was a tuning problem like fuel mixture etc coz it sounds like an old car with the choke on, but i'm not so sure coz its noticable when you put your foot down aswell and usually with mixture problems the noise goes away or at least more faint when the fuel is forced through. also the noise isn't a constant speed it increase in speed with engine revs.
I hope this has made sense to some of you and if you have any ideas on what the prob may be i'd be wrapped.
Thanx Jay.
