hi guys I'm sorry for how this may read but I'll try and right it as clear as possible, right first thing and overall problem is how my car sounds now when I bought the car it came with a jr filter and a 008 valve sounded quiet smooth spot on, I even put the car standed box on and it was quiet apart from tyre noise. So the standed filter is back on and 008 again now here where the story begins I noticed a knock from the front turned out to be the rear dog bone bush rubber so I changed this to a powerflex yellow bush car had no issues, then my drivers side engine mount snapped I replaced this but after this the car drove spot on apart from a faint rattle, i notice the thread for the dog bone bush that goes into the gearbox was rubbish so I helicoil it rattle was still there now this rattle turned out to be the vvt unit so I changed it for a genuin tps unit, I then fitted a cat back Miltec system non res and this is where the fun began at first it was quiet no noise did not no it was even on the car but over time it got louder and louder and a drone developed , now I allways thought this was the exsaust as it was a non res but most people I talk to say there car is still quiet and there running a lot more power, I notice the helicoil for dog bone did not hold up so I tighten it and I personally felt that this had cured the problem brilliant I thought so I took car to a guy who professionally repairs threads and he put a time sert in it for me but unfortontly we had to oversize it to m12

Hi guys,
I'm sorry for how this may read but I'll try and right it as clear as possible. First thing and overall problem is how my car sounds now when I bought the car it came with a jr filter and a 008 valve sounded quiet smooth spot on, I even put the car standed box on and it was quiet apart from tyre noise.
So the standed filter is back on and 008 again now here where the story begins I noticed a knock from the front turned out to be the rear dog bone bush rubber so I changed this to a powerflex yellow bush car had no issues, then my drivers side engine mount snapped I replaced this but after this the car drove spot on apart from a faint rattle.
I notice the thread for the dog bone bush that goes into the gearbox was rubbish so I helicoil it, rattle was still there now this rattle turned out to be the vvt unit so I changed it for a genuin tps unit, I then fitted a cat back Miltec system non res and this is where the fun began at first it was quiet no noise did not no it was even on the car but over time it got louder and louder and a drone developed.
I allways thought this was the exsaust as it was a non res but most people I talk to say there car is still quiet and there running a lot more power, I notice the helicoil for dog bone did not hold up so I tighten it and I personally felt that this had cured the problem, brilliant I thought so I took car to a guy who professionally repairs threads and he put a time sert in it for me but unfortontly we had to oversize it to m12.

Is this common for power flex or do I have a Millltec drone??
I'm am really confused right now guys and I want get to the bottom of this it does feel like all noise is from the front but I just want opinions really.
