Your sounded like garbage because the valve plates are loose enough to make a slight fluttering noise on start up. Mine didn't sound good either on start up- but now it sounds pretty mean and(solid smooth sound) considering it's a v6It sounds awesome and even better than before due to no restriction from the valve plates. Glad I did it
I went back a few pages and I mostly see “it came back.” Is it even worth going in for it? I don’t prefer it but I don’t want to waist my time. It’s no more annoying than the hellcat hemi tick which is considered normal.It'll come back... you'll see. Ashame I know
So, the noise is present initially on cold start, goes away once the idle drops, but then is still present under acceleration and load at low speeds (and probably at high speeds but I can't hear it anymore).
Definitely sounds like a rattle or just something loose. I looked underneath and didn't see anything obvious. It does seem to be coming from the valve area or the muffler canister right near it, but it is hard to tell.
I have tried the different exhaust modes and can hear a difference, so I think the valve is doing something.
Take a look at your ESP contract, it will tell you which coverage you bought. You can then either reference the brochure if you have it or look up the plan online to see if/what exhaust parts are covered.Mine has started to rattle on cold start and goes away once warmed up.
I attached the TSB with specific part numbers for folks to reference. I bought the ford Premium ESP and the dealership is trying to say it’s not covered. Fix is going to run me $700-ish. Irritating. Anyone else had issues with it being covered under an ESP? My mileage is around 48,000.
