Hey guys so after installing long tube headers from ARH, I noticed that there is a loud something noise that could be heard near the intake manifold, I am not sure if it's the and take actuators or the headers burning up the E85 since we all know e85 hates to be burned.

This video you can hear it thumb twice, idk what the heck it is but I have Zero check engine lights or codes..

My mods are

E85R Tune by Lund ethonal percentage is (85%)

JLT CAI 110 Mm

ARH Full system headers catless.

Everything else is stock. My headers dont touch on anything thats for sure but I do know headers amplify everything because before i never heard this, the car doesn't perform bad or anything, No CEL .

Is this something that has happened to someone or normal?

(WATCH VIDEO LINK)



Please advise yall!

Kind of sounds like a valve to piston contact but the inconsistency says otherwise.

It comes and goes... my oil is always ropped of ro the max line and I never cheaped out on oil, Was using royal purple and now im with ams oils signature. So idk what it could be, sounds mechanical ...

My 15 GT made the same noise but was way worse. It was really noticeable after I swapped to a 18IM.

I just assumed it was the BBQ tick and ignored it. Never gave me a problem

Turns out its throttle body failing, needs to be replaced , know anywhere I could get one?

Some nice Mustang6G user sold me a brand new ome practically for free it was only 50$ which they cost 320$ at ford for an OEM one, i just stuck the oem one since ill soon go with a cobra jet or force induction.
