car is loud with or without boost..... when its boosting there is a clicking sound(no pattern to the clicking though, just like a random clicking)and gets faster as boost goes up..... im boosting 10lbs though(despite the crossover pipe leak) as far as power goes..... everything is the same

pull sparks plugs do po man compression test. listen for loud even whooshes



if that turns out ok you should be fine

Clicking--Start checking gaskets first at the engine hehe Weird that the clicking gets louder though, with my little experience as you up your rpms is more requent but not louder https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



If your doing a mid-pipe and cat-back now? This is a good time to look.



Fuel---1/4 is a good rule



Noisy exhuast hummm sounds werid.. Especially with no power loss https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



Let us know how it goes..

You got me on this one, someone probally has had the same problem somewhere. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif It might be a gasket like vosko said, check them the whole length exhaust. Downpipe and even manifold

i like to cut to the chase. i said compression test first lol

Vosko and I always seem to get the worst luck, assume the worst hope for the best https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

engine is about 15k old..... im hoping its not the compression

toddp31 09-11-2003 11:31 PM

I hope so too

FikseRxSeven 09-11-2003 11:41 PM

i have a good feeling that it has soemthing to do with the exhaust cuz the sound is coming more from the middle of the car rather than front
