That would be my guess as well. It makes my eye twitch a bit. Wish it was smoother

Both the 16 and now 17 I have do it and I love it. Wish the car didn't idle so smooth but have a a little rocking to it like old school cars with a cam.

Mine feels like it has an occasional miss at idle. Haven't listened for it at the exhaust however.

What do you mean by miss at idle? My car will skip once if I start it after driving it a little bit but the car isn't 100% cold starting or fully warmed up. Tends to happen if I go a short distance to the gas station or something for a short stop and start it back up. It won't do it if it's fully warmed up though.

I'm no scientist or mechanical engineer. However, I believe it does this due to the unequal length exhaust headers and the nature of the engine being a FPC 5.2L. There are a ton of dampers/donuts holding the engine together to prevent itself from vibrating itself apart or... lol. too keep your fillings in-place. I love the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Hardness) this platform offers.
