alright, well after tracking my car (pretty hard) on sunday, my exhaust hangers fell off right at the end of the session. since i tied them up with coat hangers and such, i babied the car for the entire drive back.
after fixing the problem, i rev the car up to see if there are any leaks in the exhaust since it fell off a couple times. well, when i rev it to 5k rpm, i hear a loud squeel coming from the engine bay. (near the belts and clutch fan area). If its cold and not warmed up, i hear a squeel at 3k rpm. Its Very loud and hard to not notice it.
At first i thought it was my exhaust and there was a crack near the headers or something since it fell of a couple times. But after a close look, i’m 100% sure its coming from the engine bay. I’m not 100% sure what the problem is and how severe it is, but if someone could point me towards the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
its my clutch? i just got a new clutch. its an ACT Stage 2. Oh and i also hear my clutch fan get a lot louder at higher rpms. not sure if im being paranoid but i hear a loud blowing sound, distinctly some sort of fan sound.

Yeah, what GT said
And yeah, normally the fan will make a blowing air kinda distinct ‘fan’ sound which gets louder as the fan spins faster 8)
i got that shit too…but i thought it was the belts…oddly, i think it IS the belts cause when that thing squeels, my power steering jerks a bit. But probably not the same noise? :lol:
ohhh ok thanks guys. sorry for my absense in this knowledge =P ya it sounds like my car has a supercharger in it. sounds kinda cool, but it doesn’t sound right. i should just switch to e-fan.
is there any temporary fix to this clutch fan problem? this fan sound is getting pretty loud and i just want to be able to have a nice ride when i go to the niagara cruise.
if you have AC, just ground out the AC fan relay.[/quote]
and may i ask what that does? sorry i have no clue what that would do and im not trying to sound like a jerk. would grounding out the AC fan relay make the fan similar to an electric fan? and yes i do have AC. i heard the E-Fans are better on the engine since it frees up some load and etc.

If you ground out the relay, the fan will come on in ACC mode.
