boost2na, please tell me your car sounded like mine does. My 09 Z sometimes is quiet, but half the time it sounds like it does in the vid, horrible.

Have you checked for exhaust leaks?

I haven't. But the noise dissappears after 2k rpm. Wouldn't an exhaust leak get louder. I have thought about this though and the noise is louder on the drivers side. Hopefully th dealer would have considered this possibility but who knows on that one.

Yikes! Your car sounds exactly like mine. I have 2009 with about 17,500 miles. This scares me to the core. I have GMPP zero deductable warranty, but this still isn't right to happen.

I thought about it and I feel bad if I scared you guys with my comments about the sound clip. If I put on my engineering hat and treat this like something at work I have to say that I'm in no way qualified to infer anything about the health of your engines based on sound clips. All I can say is that subjectively my new engine seems to be a lot more quiet than the old one before it exploded.
wjnjr - stopped by my dealership yesterday but my mechanic and service manager weren't working. Will follow up with them about stem to guide clearance but they may have shipped everything back to GM.
