Noisy engine!
Has anyone had problems with the engine sounding loud when idling after a long drive? Say a hundred or two miles. Doesn't seem to do it when driving and the preformance is not a problem. Thinking the cats system could be some of the problem. After it sets for 20 to 30 minutes, it's not there.

It sounds like a diesel but not as loud. I thought maybe something in the cats because it doesn't make the sound after it has time to cool a bit. Maybe I'm over sensitive to the sound.

Is it higher for a while? what is you oil temp?
Also if a high mileage engine, you might try 10/40 or even 10/50 synthetic and see if that helps.

The milage is 69 K. Don't recal the temps being high, but will check next time. I use Mobil Syn 5w30 and AC filter. I have thought about K&N. any thoughts on this? I change the oil at 3 k miles. Still have 65% life now.
