Default stupid engine question...

You are supposed to hear your engine idle with the windows open, right?

I'm just afraid that things might be a little bit too loud for a stock engine, but its probably just my imagination.

Am I losing it? :banghead:

"loud" isn't so much the issue as "weird" "strang" and "baning" noises

Nice comment, but what's it got to do with the topic?

Hey Jeff, aren't you the guy that said stay on topic or keep it to yourself?

I think we'll need a little more info. Did the sound change recently? Are you talking about your exhaust or noise coming from the engine bay?

UA89Vette didn't offer a whole lot of info, so I asked a question
