Last night was officially the first time i drove my car in the rain, and while driving i heard/felt a weird noise and vibration from what seems to be the passanger side front tire wheel well. The noise actually sounded like i had a major exhuast leak, and the vibration felt like i was running on a flat. I pulled over to check it out despite the rain, and i saw/felt nothing. Start driving again and its still present, untill the rain lets up.

So this morning i put it on the lift and i see nothing. My buddy checks it over and its clean, no issues found. Im sure its nothing more than the tires friction with the wet asphault producing the sound, but still curious to see if anyone has experienced this or could at least shed a lil light on the subject

 

i had this happen to my car when i had my greddy evo II. I just went back to stock recently and i dont have any issues. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

nope.. everything is stock.

 

thats weird because this was the exact situation i was in with my greddy evo ii. now, since im stock, it doesnt appear anymore. i never figured it out but from what i could tell on my greddy evo ii, the top of the exhaust kept hitting the heatshield under the car but ONLY when raining.

 

same exhaust, same problem-

It happened to me once, and since then I haven't heard anything like it. I never figured out what was making the sound though, I'm kinda curious.

 

so im still getting this issue. I ended up taking it to Honda yesterday and $220 later still no diagnosis. No vac leaks, or exhuast leaks. Like i said before, the only time it makes these noises/vibrations is when its raining. Im kinda concerned now..

 

I think it has something to do with the water hitting the hot exhaust pipe my old greddy evo did that and my dc tcs will do it also but only when it rains and since the pipe itself is larger than stock its making a noticeable vibration down the pipe so dont worry at most its just annoying to deal with when it rains no damage or anything bad will come from this

 

hey, the same happend to me, i have an 03 lx, and it only happens went i go uphill in the rain, I found out the reason is, my rpms were dropping and i never downshifted, and the car was moving slugish, ever since then i just go into 2nd, and it has never done it since.

 

cant say that will work for me since i have the not pleasure of driving a carp-o-matic
