Default Does this sound normal?


Does this sound normal. Sounds like a scratching/grinding on immediate throttle.

From your video, it sounds fine to me. I hear air flowing through the intake, engine revving up followed by the exhaust howling. I'm not sure revving it up like that at a standstill is such a great idea though.

I heard this while trying to diagnose the rattle sound on light throttle. I have not bee near a certified dealer in awhile since I am working out of town.
