Engines like yours (and mine too) make so much freakin' noise that sometimes it's tough to find where they are coming from.
It is so far from stock that it is tough to identify the new sounds it is making.
I currently have, one, two, three...I had to stop and count them, that are all making strange, i.e., no stock noises. Wait...four.
One is my sons Contour with a supercharger on it.
To the novice, "there is something wrong with your engine" sounds?
Just those comments makes me stop and check them but largely the issue is that there is so many "old school" high-performance/racing components in them that the general public never got that close to them before and never listened for this stuff?
Even the "old school" Ford power steering pump in my Shelby has been silenced by changing the fluid to a different type (Lucas stop leak) so now people who have other Shelbys say "what's wrong with your ps pump, it's too quiet, is it disconnected?" because it's TOO QUIET NOW!
It never stops Mike. When I was in Texas there was an expression, "real Texans wear 10 gallon hats because when the s.it comes down, 5 gallons isn't enough".
I had a local cop "deem my Pantera engine compartment" TOTALLY ILLEGAL. The thing wasn't even running. Just the decklid was open and he saw the engine.
Poor moth fettered too close to the flame?
