So I was cruising around with some friends and when I decided to get on the throttle I heard a weird noise. It sounds like air escaping and turns into a flapping sorta sounds at high rpms. Any ideas on what it is?

 

When you accelerate and get to higher RPM's, your friends get excited and start breathing heavily, then they start fapping in the back seat.

you done any kinda mod to your airbox or intake at all?

Haha should of known that was coming. No, no mods. She's all stock

 

its the intake sucking in air lol stock cars still make the sound its just harder to hear

 

This.

 

check the vacuum tubing coming from your supercharger or just all vacuum tubing in general could be cracked and worn

 

No it's not. it almost sounds like it's coming from the headers. It's like a fast popping the it turns into a loud. Itks definitely not the intake. It's somesort of a leak, but from where I have no clue.

 

sure sounds like a blown flex pipe to me

 

Cracked flex pipe. It will just get worse if you don't fix it.

 

xs cracked flexpipe....had the same problem on my ion, and now I think my cobalt is doing it....good reason for a downpipe!!!

 

Now that sounds like the problem, is there anyway to verify that this is the problem? Where would the flex pipe be located?

 

its just south of the downpipe/header flange.

 

it was so bad on my ion QC, that I could put my hand beside the flex pipe, and feel a serious amount of exhaust coming out the side......before it got too hot. find a used one from a junkyard, if you just weld in one, it'll rot in the future anyways. Dissimilar metals causes corrosion, corrosion causes holes. Or get an aftermarket downpipe with or without the catalytic converter.

 

Took it to the dealer, they said I would have to leave it as always. That's not an option as of right now. I'm gonna verify that this is the problem which I have no doubt in my mind that it is. It's still under warranty so I shouldn't have to worry about it. Maybe in the future I will get a ZZP Downpipe, but for now just want it fixed.

 

He's N/A

 

I'm surprised that no one mentioned this.. Check gaskets?

 

Got it fixed, dealer fixed everything under warranty! Now it doesn't sound like i have an engine hahaha

 

i am laughly quite loudly right about now. no lie. that was funny as ****.
