Ls1 Noise 99 Camaro Please Help Hello I am new to these post.
I have a 99 camaro Z28 6 speed Nothing major done. I have bought the car used. The car came with exhaust<simple flowmaster> BBK 80mm Throttle body with a cold air intake and MSG Plug wires running AcDelco iridiums .. Recently I have started to notice an Odd noise. The noise is something compared to mid or low grade rattle. It also is Very Noticeable when cold(steady mid grade rattle). After warming up the noise somewhat goes away and is only between the 2000 and 3000 rpm range. This sound when warm, is not noticeable under a load, just when you are lightly shifting gears between 2 and 3 k. in other words when you are letting off the gas. If you just take the car up between 2 and 3 K and hold the gas the sound stays steady as long as you are on flat land.
Thanks

Welcome to LS1tech.
Check the heat shields under the car. Check that the exhaust hangers are all tight and that the pipes are not making contact anywhere.
Mine was making a similar rattle to what you describe. It was caused by a loose exhaust hanger at the rear, on the passenger side.
