i removed the front strut bar when i installed my R2C long time ago, same with when i did the post-MAF tube. could the bar be loose?

I know, right... I did the same on my install, removing the strut tower brace. But I just checked it, and it's definitely not loose.

If something were loose I would have absolutely expected to hear that noise before, too. And I haven't. Oh well, I've made a note of it, and I'll be sure to immediately evaluate the situation if I hear it again. :shrugs:

What about heat shields around the header or cats?

Could it be a leak? Sometimes a small leak can make a little "whistle" that sounds kind of metallic.

This forum is full of love.

Only place where my intro thread got locked due to "pictures of a toaster"

Yeah, I figured that the strut tower brace was good because I did use my torque wrench on those bolts per the service manual recommendations (though now I cannot remember what they were). I'll check the battery tie down as well, but honestly, I haven't messed with it, so that would be an odd culprit. The heat shield was the first thing my co-worker suggested before admitting that he has no idea of the configuration and contents of our engine bay (he's a mustang guy

). I'll definitely look into that. Thanks!

So sorry to hear about your issues this past weekend, Christian. Hope things work out, man.

I don't think so... It was very pronounced and not a "whistle" or "whine" with a metallic twang.

Funny, you seem to be a common factor in the threads that get ruined.
