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

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



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



Let us know how it goes..

You got me on this one, someone probally has had the same problem somewhere. It might be a gasket like vosko said, check them the whole length exhaust. Downpipe and even manifold

Vosko and I always seem to get the worst luck, assume the worst hope for the best

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
