Maybe it's that ECU whine people have been talking about? Or a speaker is blown (or close to)?

hey did you get that exhaust tip lined up?

yah, it's a known issue.... but no real fix for it unless you can get the dealer to replace it.

see if you can hear the whine in the passenger seat. i think it's position sensitive. if so, you might be able to angle the ecu in a way you can't hear it from the driver's seat. or try your GTMatt magic?

Yes, you can hear it from both seats. I drove and was a passenger this weekend. I'll see what I can think of for a fix.

in need to find j-retirement home so i dont have to eat mac&cheeze and airline-like food every f-king day.

does that sound like a crt (old tube tv)? if so, you might have the high pitched whine from the ECU.

Cali is a nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there. But I'm way far away (30mi) from downtown Phoenix, where I work. I hate it.

Not yet. I haven't had much time. I may try today, if not I'll have to leave it to the weekend.

ahh, thanks for the info. that sucks you cant just turn the darn thing...humm...

if you have an app that can measure frequency on your phone you might be able to capture which frequencity that whine is. if not, use a tuner app and see if you can match the pitch. then go up an octave or two and find the frequency.

do you know what bandwidth your mats can contain sound? im not sure if it goes up that high...

is your 30min commute like through a pretty rural area? my commute is like 25min but round trip is less than 25miles.

GL adjusting the hanger height. should be an easy fix.

Nope, it's all boring freeway. 30 miles takes about 35min. Boring drive, looking at taillights.

kenchan · 04-16-2013, 04:54 PM

oh here comes the dumbarse landscapers to rape my fit.

I keep the cars in the garage when the landscapers come because otherwise:

I couldn't really afford another car payment (or constant repairs on a used one).

I'm thinking of renting my house out and getting a condo downtown, as they give us free lightrail & bus passes... so I could do that, or if I'm close enough I could walk/ride a bike.
