hey, i have a 1998 GSR and im hearing a wierd metal-to-metal, buzzing noise when i step on the gas. the sound is more evident at higer RPM's. is something loose?
i havent driven the car for about 2 weeks so it's pretty wierd hearing a noise that wasnt there 2 weeks ago since it hasnt been driven. anyways, let me know what you guys think. thank you.

anyone? please!

 

the first thing I check if I hear a buzzing sound is the heat shields on the exhaust. just hit the exhaust with your hand (careful if hot) to see if it buzzes


HTH

 

Yeah, mine did that when I first got it and it was pissing me off. I called Acura about it and they said it was OK to remove it, so I did. Its a known problem with Integra's. It is the heatshield covering the catalytic converter. Just don't park over a pile of leaves or anything.

 

im going to check that out, thanks guys. any reason why this happened all of a sudden while be parked?
