Hard to Explain

[jacobmh27]

Well here goes. The car sounds rough and loud in reverse when Aplying gas. It sounds like it is coming from the passanger side. This started when I put the headers and the new Axles in the car. Any Idea I know it sounds weird and it is hard to explain

Exhaust could be rubbing when the motor flexes forward. That would be my first guess.

 

[Liquifire]

look for any rub marks on the exhaust....

Probaly the clamp the holds the bottom of the cross over to the rear header. I think mine is rubbing too.

 

[jacobmh27]

Ok so it should not be something to worry about too much I will check that. Thanks

G.l its probably something easy =p

 

[TheOtherNick]

I am planning on checking mine tonight. I am pretty sure it was something to do with the headers. Since we both have the same issue right after I installed mine.

Yea your headers are more than likely rubbing the firewall. You need cradle spacers or longer dogbones

or a torch..........

^ probably making a funny saying we should cut the firewall.

If you're car is making any unnatural noise - and you don't know where it's coming from OR what's causing it - be concerned.

Eh?? Or better headers. IF this is the problem - something is amiss with those headers. Badly.

it only happens in reverse ad it is just louder it is weird. I will look into the firewall when Iget home from LA next weekend

you got it.........

 

[DOUGLASMELTER]

define loud? is it like exhaust loud or mechanical loud. i only ask because you just did the axle too and you didnt specify why you changed it. just thought id try a different avenue. i figure these guys r correct but if its not that you at least have something else to think about

 

[jacobmh27]

that is what I thought mabey the Axel was not in all the way but it is already checked that. I was getting a vibration on aceleration so that is why I changed them the boots were torn and they just about fell apart when I took them out

 

[Liquifire]

so did you figure it out yet?
