any ideas??? could it maybe be belts? or axles...or maybe something with the tranny? any input is appreciated

 

does it do it when you are just reving it or just when you are driving down the street

 

wen revving and driving down the street its almost always making the noise now...when i let off the gas and apply it the noise gets ever worse...ill prob break down sometime soon here :/

 

do u have an aftermarket exhaust on the car...

i would check with that if something is loose it will rub, vibrate, and just become more loose...

have somebody else rev the car while you walk around the out side and go by ear if its that loud it will be no porblem to find

good luck

 

i thought about that but it only make noise when driven...so kinda hard

 

So it's only while you're driving?

I'm thinking there's got to be something loose with the exhaust or heatsheilds. The engine moves differently when under load (driving) than just sitting around revving. I'd get under / around the car and start yanking and banging around to see if there's anything loose.
