Ok!


So i did some stethoscoping when the engine was running.
I scoped the entire engine and i did not hear anything out of the normal, specifically on the valve covers and oil pan in places.


Now the noise from what i can tell is coming from the drivers side exhaust.
Its very loud when scoping at the header flange to the converter. The passenger side is not as loud as the drivers side.


So i think the heat shields on the header are getting loose or starting to "fail".


Also the noise is gone if the car is very hot like 98c and the noise is gone after.



So its a case of old exhaust parts making noise. I will snug up the heat shields and see.


Thanks.
