    hey guys still new to the gtp but when i turn my car on in the morning i start to hear a small like grinding sound. (not like a serious grinding but a slight one) it sounds like its coming from the drivers side and once i drive about a mile it goes away. i let my car warm up for a little and still hear it but it goes away shortly? any ideas?
    Thanks

    Go to advanced edit when you edit your first post and change the title.

    EDIT: fixed it for you and got rid of the other thread.


    Have to taken any of the belts off yet to see if the noise is NOT there when you start the car up?

    Very well could be your intake, the IAC passage makes the intakes very loud, sounds like shovels on concrete.

    My GT sounds like that after I put in an intake and I have just come to the conclusion it's just air coming into the engine really loudly on a cold start. Cause everything else is golden and it's gone in about a minute.

    Its just your intake. Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.
