I just got a ride in my buddy's GSR and it sounded so quiet..........why do i hear so many wifleing noises when i drive my car at low rpms........people always think there is something wrong with my car.....but it idles at 800 RPMS and seems fine

 

Because the sound deadining and tar on our cars is removed. Plus crusing RPM is higher due to gearing.

 

haha ... why, do you not like the sound of a race engine??? anyways, most of the insulating and other sound deading materials have been eliminated for weight reasons...part of the ITR weight loss program when compared to the GSR.
IMO...I love the sounds our engines make

 

Noise... they make music!!

really? that's odd.. mine idles around 600-800. 1k if the lights or AC is on...

 

If I had a GSR I would gut it out to make it sound like an ITR.

 

Check the vacuum lines on your intake manifold.

 

its just the ticking/whirling noises that bother me

 

You mean the valve chatter and belts whirring bothers you? Just part of the way the honda engines sound, especially the R engine.

 

yes.........I have never heard these noises in any other honda i've been in........even my uncles NSX

 

my engine is quiet compared to disordeR's

 

 

i'm not talking about throttle noises........i'm talking about the low rpm cruising noises........ticking/whirling noises

 

AEM makes the noise... whirling wind in the tube.

 

Last time I drove my R, I had the rear seats up for the first time since I drove it home from the dealer. Damn, it was quiet (except for engine roar - almost sounded like a luxury car!). Usually there is all sorts of rear tire road roar on the highway when the seats are down (there's no insulation under or above the spare tire).

 

I love the sound, I grew a custom to it and yeah it makes me wanna just hit the gas and make it even louder....hehe like a true race car

 

Think its bad with the seats dowmn...remove them like me! You can hear the gas sloshing @ stops.....they took the wave baffle out of the tanks as part of the diet.
Jody-Who wants a GSR tank if it will fit. (Will help weight dist anyways.)
