The sound does not seem in sync with tire rotation, and it makes a "flappa-flappa" kind of noise (but starts out as a thunk) that seems to speed up with the engine. Also, there is another noise going on at the same time that sounds(low level noise) like chains grating or being dragged across a metal deck. Sometimes the noise sounds like it's coming from the rear. Now along with these two noises, there is a thunk or knock, especially when just starting out or coming to a stop. Just before coming to a stop there is a big thunk or two which feels like gears dropping in to mesh. I did drive it close to 50 mph but then I started to smell something like hot or burning fluid, so I reduced speed to 35-40. Sometimes it feels like a cv and other times it feels like a van I once had that had a warped drive shaft Oh, and one more thing! At one point when I was driving, the speedometer seem to go haywire (when driving close to 50) but later it seemed to perform correctly when I approached that speed. Engine seems smooth, Sounds Kewul
, and the muffler and pipes sound awesome at speed, and barely noticeable at idle. Umma Luva My Car
