just recently my car was making a noise that i've never heard of...it seems to come and go at times.... it seems to be coming from my headers but i'm not sure...do anyone know what the noise is? bothers me when i hear it ..lol...i'll post up a video of the noise in a while....

 

*cough header

 

maybe u could tell us what the noise sounds like...that might help us in telling u what it might be? how do u know its coming from your headER

 

this is what happens when you say headers instead of header

 

are all your gaskets sealing properly? u can get a nasty hissing sound if one of your gaskets fails.

Also, a header will give u a different( louder) exhaust tone than stock, but it shouldn't be "a bad sound"

 

here's how the noise sounds like

well while we are on this bad noise topic. it mightb e my clutch ir might be something else. but usually on 1st gear i hear this vibraating nouse on either the front of the fire wall or blow me. i looked there i dont see anything loose. any idea guys?

 

Sounds like a heat shield is loose.

 

check ur gasket if theres a leak or something but could be what toyomatt84 said

 

it sounds like the 2 bolts that connect ur header to ur piping are loose.. and the spring shaking around make that noise.. cuz my civ sounded like that too and i took it to the local shop and they said that the bolts were just loose.. but it could be different in ur case

well. if this is the case. is the space between the firewall and the header wide enough for me to go under my car and do it? the header's on a d17 are located on the back close to the firewall right? so i gues ill get a friend to rev my engine while im under it to find out which bolt is loose. then tighten it... if im right give me a BINGO!! hehe..

 

duuudeeee the header is in the front... lol just get a jack and 2 jack stands. jack the car up from the cross member in the front and put the 2 jack stands under the jacking points under the front 2 doors. then just tighten both bolts and rev the engine. tighten the bolts when the motor is cold.

 

the k series has headers in the back buddy

 

no it has a header in the back buddy

Not on the D17 Buddy

 

They're on about a K, buddy.

The first guy says headerS, they second chap is correcting him by saying, effectively, that his engine has only one bank of cylinders buddy.

 

unless hes talking about his intake manifold

but yeh the header is in the front on the d17...

 

i know that k series have their header in the back.......i was saying cause EM2***** said that K series has headers in the back buddy so i reply by saying no it has a header in the back buddy....k series in back and d17 in front
