both my evo and my bmw 335 do this.

 

Totally normal. I hear this a lot when I am near newer cars that have just shut off.

 

Yes most cars do have some ticking when thigs cool off but yours is way louder than any car I have ever heard. Sounds like your car is making a deposit at coin star.

 

pretty audible on my 2011 evo x

 

I was gonna ask the forum same thing tonight lol. 1st week with my evo. I hear the same thing. I guess theres nothing to worry about

 

Very normal. Cars have been doing this for decades.

 

why does it annoy some of you? do you guys turn your car off and sit by it for 30 minutes until the noise goes out? quit babysitting the car... park it, turn it off and go about your business lol :P

 

This.

Next thread will be to ask what that "whooshing sound" is. Oh wait, someone has already done that.

 

Reason I asked is because IT IS very loud that if we are both at red light you will hear it next to my car. I have own more than 8 cars none of them makes noise this Loud that when engine is on you can still hear it.

 

You never owned a circa-1990 Scooby Legacy, then, because those were the all time king (or queen - not that there's anything wrong with that) of heat-shield noise-makers.

Note that heat shields often fall apart long before the exhaust, itself, and a heat shield with half of its connectors gone will make a lot more noise than one that is still solid. I've already seen three cat heat shields break on various-year Evo Xs (albeit mostly from vibration). Worth a peek if it's really driving you crazy.

 

I've never had a car that hasn't done that. Just remember that the exhaust gets very, VERY hot, especially on a turbo car. When you shut it off it begins to cool immediately. As it contracts it will make noises. It could be the heatshields, or it could be the pipes themselves. Whatever it is, it is completely normal.

 

Normal. Its louder than on any other car I've owned or driven, but nonetheless normal

 

Mines not as loud, but happens. If you want it gone, get a turbo back with a test pipe.

 

Mine did this when for the first few months. Smelled bad too.

 

The X seems to be much louder than any other car I've owned, not particularly sure why though. Not exactly something I would worry about, but it's still weird enough that I understand your concern.
