Yeah the engine and trans is pretty much an NVH disaster. You dont hear the injectors outside the car when the hood is closed...at least very easily. On the one or two insances I have noticed valvetrain tap, its been a little louder.

 

wow casual u live in madison...what color is ur 9 i am on west side in a silver 8.

 

anybody notice that when ur car is running, u pop ur hood open and than drop it like with in 1ft to close it, and ur car just wanna stall? try it and tell me if yours does, cause i did that to mine when i was listening for tick in the engine bay.

 

yea, i started a thread on that....seems that it happens to everyone
