Ive noticed that my car has gotten really loud at idle lately. Im not sure what it is, but its much louder then it use to be. I am a little over due for an oil change. Any idea on what could be causing this?

 

engine mounts?

 

What do you mean by louder? Are you talking about a rattle, or what, explain with more detail.

 

x2, there could be a hundred reasons, give us a lil more detail!

 

piston #4....

 

could it just be that since it's getting warmer out you have the windows down now and are noticing how loud the car really is?

 

ummm ok.......way to try and ruin his day

 

you might have messed up your flex pipe like me.. is the noise coming from the engine bay, or the exhaust?

 

detail is needed.

 

the underpants gnomes

 

Its coming from the engine bay and it seems as if the engine is shaking more at idle, Like an engine mount is loose or something.

 

are you sure you did a good job on the install of the mounts? re-tighten all of the bolts

anyone think its possible he cross-threaded one? IDK if the mounts are reverse threaded or not.. never took 'em out before.

 

well ive had them in forever, and it just started ,or i just noticed it 2 weeks ago.

Im in florida, i always ride with the windows down, never notices it before.

 

well i would check your mounts then. did you install or did someone else? make sure everything is tight, and they're not cracked. should be able to just see by looking

 

do you have any exhaust mods at all??? cus after i put the full header back exhaust on mine...about a month later it just kept getting louder and louder....and i didn't *** anything up...im bone stock except for intak and full 3 inch exhaust...lol...i know its to much but im making room for some future plans...you wanna see something loud i guarentee i would have one of the loudest cars on the forums...
