Default Do you ever notice...

every little noise in your vette especially after you do a mod? I just changed my gears and have been taking the vette out for little 10-15 mile drives to break them. I notice every little road noise creak and bump the car makes it kinda drives me nuts!

Actually I just installed Crazy Cowboy's insulation on my C6 and I was amazed at how much noise disappeared. Of course now I hear other things that was probably already there to begin with.

Yes.. you have OCD.. It's related to being **** and having too much passion for our vettes.
I have the same issue with my home stereo.. Whenever I make a change to the system... I spend months listening for the changes and not the music... It's sick... but normal..

This is the most random jumping around thread I've seen in a while

I think it's probably because you are paying closer attention after your mods, in case you loosened things, etc. I bet the same noises were there before

After I installed my headers, The car definatly had a "tinnier" sound to the exhaust, and yes, You do notice different sounds the car makes after you change someting. Usually its because your hopping you didnt leave some really important part off !!!!

Your probably right. I should probably seek help but cant because I spent the shrink money on the vette. Oh well I can try to turn on my radio I guess. It hasnt been turned on since I installed the corsa's.

ANYTHING you put in adds weight and it may put it in the wrong spot, removing weight may be a problem to, why do you think they use four corner scales?
