Makes me consider going back to stock. Keep the coils & sways, but power wise, go back to stock and just wack a cat-back on...Or am i just being ridiculous.

It kinda sounds like something is loose, but it's different to the heat shield rattle i had.

I'll have to get it checked out. Doesn't sound like marbles though! Best description - It sounds like there's a piece of paper in my exhaust flapping around.

Have you had this checked Huy?

go get it on a dyno so u can find if the noise is pinging or some weird rattle, if it is pinging, check mixtures etc.... is the ecu spitting out any codes? try pulling of the bov, put standard one back on and see if the problem is still there if yes its not your bov if no it is!
