Thanks everyone. Learned a few things with the replies (grid heaters and power flux's. Idle jump). Sounds like it is a "not uncommon" mystery of the Ghost in the Machine genre; lol. As with others in discussion threads the noise goes away when engine is up to full temp and I have never noticed...

Well, don't know that I could say. Didn't know what it was til you asked and I had to go look it up. How would I know that is occuring in association with grid heaters? Is this what causes the heavy power drain (amp gauge flux) and light fluctuations on startup. Any association with idle jump...

It's been cold here ( teens and twenties) and recently I noticed a sound from the engine compartment that sounds like my dogs howling at an ambulance siren. Engine temp has been less than full. Does not seem to happen at full temp. Occurs on gentle accel or no pedal decel between 20 and 25mph...

Thanks. I didn't look very well before I posted and there are some really angry beavers out there with the train horns. It had not occured to me to mount on the frame and under the bed. Actually "wet pants" would be poetic justice after all the times I've latched onto the seat covers with a...

I have this set of air horns that my kids gave me to go with my 04. 5 CDT. They gave up trying to find a place to mount them (the roof is out!!!!). :confused: Has anyone found a place under the hood to mount a dual trumpet set??? A few pictures would be nice if there are some out there. I...

Cat back? or Turbo back? OK, so it makes it louder. . what is louder? My copilot is a little skiddish about what louder means. I like the rumble, but she isn't sure she will. Also, is there really some significant back pressure, egt reduction or flow to be cured by removing the cat? Or for...

Anyone have guidelines or ideas for upgrade exhausts for 2004. 5 600's. I realize everyone has their brand loyalty but is it necessary to go the whole route or will CAT back do it? I'm not racing, just wanting to tweak power and mileage reasonably for towing and driving!

ECM Flash A newby here, be gentle. I just had my 04. 5 in for service and they did the "out of park" safety recall. I have looked and I don't see any stickers indicating a reprogram, I now intend to ask them. I wouldn't mind the boost in hp and mileage if it's true :)
