Engine Noise

[SazMayo]

I know coyotes are noisy and the DI is loud but I was just curious what folks thought about this and if i should be concerned/take it to the dealership before my warranty is up.

do you think its just the DI being noisy?

If you're concerned, it typically goes like this:

A. You take it to the dealer...
A1. They will tell you it's normal.
A2. They will tear apart the engine and replace parts that will have no effect on changing the sound. Returning your car weeks later with no discernable difference, or worse.
A3. The dealer (depending on what they think they found) will authorize a replacement engine. Following that, the new engine will make the same sounds after it's first oil change. With a replacement engine, you've lost a month or more of use of your car and there's a good chance they return it to you with other problems related to the engine swap.

B. Send an oil sample into Blackstone for analysis and check your oil filter for metal flakes.
B1. If oil test/filter results are abnormal and indicating wear, go to step A.
B2. If oil test/filter results are normal, change to 5W-30 oil and add 1 bottle of Ceratec to quiet it down and proceed to drive the living snot out of it.
B3. Do the oil & Ceratec treatment and continue to drive it. If the noise gets worse go to step A.
B3. Do nothing, and continue to drive it. If the noise gets worse go to step A.

Glad to be helpful. These engines are noisy by nature.

Sounds like a coyote. And quieter than mine!

 

[Offshoregames]

Ain’t nothing a little ceratec won’t cure. Welcome to noisy coyotes

Normal sound. Enjoy your car. Mine has 50,000 miles on it and sounds like yours. No oil consumption issues, nor does it seem low on power. Rip on it and enjoy the beautiful V8.

Sounds normal for sure. When I started noticing that noise I was worried about it too. I don’t hear it anymore because my music is always up and loud af. Many miles later it’s still running so that’s a good thing

One amendment:

C. Turn up radio loud
C1. Rev the shit out of it with the windows down.

It's funny I remember when I got my first Mustang a 2006 GT... it only had 1500 miles on it and I complained to a buddy of mine who has owned more Mustangs than I can count about rattles and the slack in the shifter.

His response:

It's not a f****** Mercedes... its a Mustang. Thier shifters always suck and the body is gonna have rattles.... you have one of two solutions on the rattles....

1. Louder exhaust

2. Better stereo.

On the shifter... Google Hurst or Steeda Tri Ax.

Since I already had the Shaker 1000 system I opted for mac boom tubes never heard rattles again... lol

Swapped the shifter out for a hurst comp plus and never complained about the shifter again either...lol

So even though the coyote I think is an excellent engine it's not a Mercedes it's probably going to be louder than a lot of higher end engines...

If she's running good Id drop the hammer and go...

My solutions.

A) bottle of ceratec with oil change
B) Borla Cat back is loud AF
C) Turn up the music

 

[Zelek]

Headers and a catback will fix it. Trust me.
