The motor runs great! the sound comes at IDLE and grows louder sometimes through the RPM band, the car was dynoed couple days ago and was fine. car drives perfect! what can the problem be??

Deleted User	taking the guards out is the hood way to fix it. replace the parts they told you to replace or wait a few weeks and replace the motor your choice
