Weird Sound
Just noticed a weird sound today. When I am in low rpm (1k-3k) on accel or decel I hear this almost like chain rattling sound. Any ideas on what this could be? I have 35k miles Mods are 3in straight pipe turboback, ETS UICP, ETS Intake, MBC, Walbro. Havent had time to look at it yet as I am not near my car till 2marrow but wanted to hear some opnions as to where to start looking for the culprit. Thanks

From what I could tell it sounds like its coming from the engine compartment, passenger side possibly. Exhaust will be one thing to check when I get down there 2marrow but I would think an exhaust would be more or a rattle sound.
This side is very chain like, hard to explain but kinda like if someone was shaking a metal chain lol

Its probably (cross your fingers) just your throwout bearing getting loud. Is it your DD? how many miles on the TOB? Also was the a/c on or off, I'm sure you already know that with the a/c on its is more pronounced.

Probably the TOB, I parked last night and hooped out of my car and thought of this thread and realized (because i am so used to it) how loud my TOB is, the sound it makes is pretty close to the one you described but it comes from the drivers side not the passanger side as you described.
Do you hear it from inside the car? with the windows up or down? Were you driving close to a wall where the sound can bounce off to make it more pronounced?

Do you only hear it when reving or while driving it?
What are all of your mods?
"ETS Intake|ETS UICP|BR DP|AMS Custom Straight pipe|MR DV|Hallman MBC|Mellon Tuned|Walbro 255|Tein Flexs|Enkei NT03 17x9.5|255/40 Azenis|Cusco Trunk bar|Hawk HPS"
Is that it? ^

Yes those are all my performance mods, add a BR shifter bushing, ACT HDSS, and flywheel and thats it. I hear it when reving and while driving.
So if its the TOB I should hear it when its just idling too? And when I turn the A/C on it should become more pronounced? Thanks for the help.
