Helix video of the issue.

Post by Whelan »

I took a cell phone video of the sound, very prominent and you can see why I'm so pissed. It's a 15 second clip. I added the new clamps and it did nothing. Odd thing is when you first start it up and its still cool or cold, it makes no noise, but shortly after, it only happens during idling or when I let off the gas during acceleration.If you want the video send me an email to Clutchrider7@hotmail.com. The video is in 3g2 format from a cell phone so you need a decoder. Please anyone, I could use the help so I don't have to sell this piece.

if this is what it ishttp://www.streetandperformanc...p.htmsell it on ebay and use the money for pulleys or a short throw shifter or something useful. reading through the description i couldn't help but laugh. it screams scam, like one of those fans for intake tubing..
