    Gettin on the interstate tonight, I decided to have a little fun...

    It's a turn with a stop sign gettin on the ramp, so once I got goin about 20 I punched the gas pretty hard and from like 2500-3500 rpms I heard this.. I dont know what to call it, almost like a buzzing or vibrating like a cell phone kinda vibration. I think I could feel it too, like the steering wheel or pedal.. then it stopped on up to 5k and when it shifted and the rpms went back to the 2500-3500 range, it didnt happen again.. or at all on the whole rest of the ride home, even going from a stop.

    I cant exactly remember where I felt it cause I was payin more attention with my ears, and feeling it in my hands or feet was more of an after thought.

    No loss of power, or irregularity, smooth acceleration and regular power..

    I've hammered it on this stretch more than a few times before and I've only heard the noise once, doin the same thing... Im just thinkin about it more now since it repeated... any ideas what it could be?

    Probably not the issue but the 04+ have had problems with the under dash rattling. As well as the gauge cluster hood vibrating. My gauge cluster rattles and it drive me ****ing nuts... I might finally get unlazy and do something about it.

    I get a vibration sometimes around 2500-3000 and I'm not totally sure if its the problem since I haven't looking into it too much but I think it may be the heat shield on the front manifold. I noticed it was a little loose on one end and could very well be what I'm hearing
