SYKOV6 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 hi sounds more like an exhaust drone to me what size is your pipe? where r the mufflers. alot of people go far to big on the pipe size and the sound actually resonates in the pipe. 2in pipe is way big enough 4 a escort ther is no performance gain in going bigger you might lose bottom end torque big pipes are 4 worked 6s and v8s and rotas any thing else are just kidding themselves. i used to work in a workshop in aussie that had a dyno the guy that owned it had a esky rally car and did heaps of experimenting with exhausts and found that 2in was the best all round performer dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rip Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Yo Have you checked you drive shaft - does it go clunk when shifting between forward and reverse. I had a mk2 1600 sport doing simalar things turn out the rear universal on the drive shaft sloged out your noise came before further wear produce clunking when shifting between forward and reverse. Easy to check jack it up ( safely HI ) and and twist and move the drive shalf about. Good Luck RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Could a driveshaft that's loose or something like that cause a clunking sound when revving high or going over bumps? My auto has been making noises for months and I'm too poor to have it fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W8NSEE Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 have u had your driveshaft out lately cause min made anoise wen u went over bumps, but all it was is that the hanger was not loaded up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
