Does anyone besides me find the car motor a little noisy? lol (and the exhaust) :|

Sorry about the lame footage.... I'll try and get some better if I can get the turd out of the snow pile.. (mom thought it'd be funny to bury the car even more!! damn mothers)

Engine sounds kinda loud for stock, but its a V8 what did you expect the exhaust tone to be?

Sounds normal to me.

JW :D

Engine is stock. 123k miles... Exhaust is borla... :drool: it's annooyying i feel bad for the people sitting in the backseat LOL

Really??? damn.. maybe it's just getting old and a little noisy

Wow that exhaust sounds awosome. Didnt really hear anything abnormal, and remember if its too loud your too old :p

engine isnt as loud as mine but its cammed and the exhaust isnt either, but mine is dumped.... so its quiet

sounds loud under the hood IMO

Ya, if you wanna make more work for yourself, yank the valve covers and re do the rockers.

nothing out of the ordinary from what i can tell in that clip

sounds just as loud as my car. ive got a borla on my lt1:wink:

i think if the people in the back seat don't like it they should not be in the car. but that's just me

People ride in the back seats of our cars...?? I always thought that was a myth....

JW :D

From what my mechanic said it is valve noise.. Thanks for the compliments. I just going to drive it as is till the motor is done with (still have to get the trans replaced)

I love the BORLA!! it's nice and bassy. but everyone says it's annoying...

Also the car has quite down a little since it's been running more often. (sat too long)

change the oil and put some 20w50 in it.

VERY DUMB idea in the middle of Winter! You need a 5W or 10W bottom number in order to turn the motor over on very cold (-20) mornings. A 20W 50 will be much too thick to quickly get moving and will put a lot a strain on the battery. A much better oil would be a Synthetic 5W 30 for the Winter and then switch to a 10W 40 in the summer if you have some valve noise.

Shes running on 10w 40 at the moment... I don't know what was in her when i bought her but she was REALLY noisy when it got cold out!!! :lol:

Not if you run a good synthetic - they should flow freely at much lower temps than pet. based oil, regardless of the viscosity.

Pull intake. Install LS7 lifters. Re torque rockers. Win.
