    I replied on your youtube. I'd bet a left nut it's your flex plate. Anyone who has had a cracked flex plate will tell you they quiet down once you get on the gas. Plus the sound seems to be coming from under your engine. Probably warped or cracked.

    Only thing that sucks is, it could last 10 years like that, or it could break in half tomorrow. You never know.

    Big rims, 35 - 40 roll punches, and fat people will all help break that thing sooner or later (if it is the flex plate)

    VS cam build 13.01@107 316whp/ XP build #1 12.78@110 334whp/ XP build #2 12.56@113 347whp
    IS3 Cam build (Ready to put out some serious numbers)

    Thanks for the response man, much appreciated.

    About the rims...Yea, I don't really like them, wish I could find a nice set of stock chromies...they were on the car when I bought it about a month ago...

    Any recommendations on an oem flexplate?

    Would it be easier to remove the motor or the tranny when it comes time to replace it?

    Thanks again for all the replys.
