so i just installed my new intake and headers and exhaust. It is finally up and working ok (carb still needs some tunning work). But anyways it is atleast getting around town nicely now and producing quite a bit more power, but after going cruising down some back roads today when i got back into my neighborhood just before my house i started to hear a grinding noise. (pretty load) i got home parked my car and left it running. it sounded like the grinding was coming from my muffler, and my engine was still running just fine. I tried shutting of the car and starting it back up same sound. Reved up the engine a few times same thing. I figure maybe something is just loose or a small leak in the exhaust at the muffler. I just got it installed and it is under a waranty.

The strange thing is when i just ran out to see how my new setup would run in the cold with my electric choke i started it up (ran awesome) no grinding? any idea what could cause this.

is it possible the flexplate is in contact with the inspection cover ?

is it possible the flexplate is in contact with the inspection cover ? and maybe loose torque converter bolts.
