gurgle sound?
My exhaust, lid and bellow were just installed last week on the same day and now if I rev the engine i hear a gurgling sound, I think it is comming from either the lid or the bellow? The first time I noticed it was right after I installed the bellow. Has anyone had this problem before? All input would be greatly appreciated!

what do you mean "gurgle"? i installed my full exaust, lid and bellows all within a few days of each other and there was no abnormal sound. makr sure your lid is secured tight, the slp lids require a bit of tweaking to get it right anf also make sure the belllows are tight around the maf and tb. if all is tight and secure i cant think of anything it could be besides maybe an exhuast leak from the LM or its just the normal sound of the LM.

Its kinda hard to explain... It does not do it at full throttle, it seems to do it at cruising speeds or when it is winding down after I get on it. It sounds like "water bubbles" if that makes any sense? I checked my lid and bellow and they are both on good. Im starting to wonder if it might be an exhaust leak?
thanks

I think you're hearing the water from your cooling system surging through the heater core. I used to hear it all the time in my T/A. The heater core is located against the firewall of the car.
I'm not sure how you're hearing sounds from the lid or the bellows while driving.

...if it's something like water bubbles, that sounds like the coolant. I hear it on my car all the time, after the engine is turned off, that is, probably need to add some coolant and may be the radiator cap going bad? I don't know, but I know the sound..

I don't know the exact terminology...but are you talking about the sound the exhaust makes when the RPMs are on their way back down? I know that if my car is kinda cold, and I take a little time between shifts, the exhaust makes a small rattling/backfiring sound. I don't think it's a bg deal, but it sounds like something that should not be happening.

I just installed the TSP lid today, and I noticed the gurgling noise you speak of. It's only at partial throttle settings I think it's just the intake your hearing... what the baffels were for in the first place...

I got a sucking noise when my lid was installed. No gurgle. Sorry, no help.
