just kinda curious. i noticed today when i was getting on the freeway, i downshifted from 3rd to 2nd and when i did, it made a knock noise.. i cant really describe it. at first i thought it was a backfire. but i realized when i was driving up my street, it does it when i let go of the clutch in 2nd and pop it. i was thinking that the header is hitting something. am i right?? and just curious to see if any of you guys are experiencing the same thing.

 

That's what I'd guess as well. I've heard of this happening from others (I think) with aftermarket headers

 

well tomorrow im gonna jack it up and take a look... and possibly make some contraption to stop or reduce the noise

 

No problems here!

 

probably hittin your front sway from engine movement when youre dropping it into 2nd or dropping the clutch.

x2


also get some better motor mounts or esmm inserts

 

well it doesnt do it anymore lol

i was thinking of investing in stiffy's.

but they're like 300 i think.
straight from ingalls

 

that would do that job as well. i dont think the es motor mount inserts are available yet so the stiffy would work.
