[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1035169, member: 67547"] Manager at Exhaust Systems Hawaii is 99.9% certain the noise is not exhaust related. I've touched EVERY reachable part under the Trac with the stethoscope without finding a similar noise. First things that came to mind were the torque converter or flex plate, but the only way to thoroughly inspect both would be dropping the tranny. Funny thing is I removed the tranny dipstick several times to check the fluid level after driving with the engine warm and the noise STOPPED. I'm having a difficult time getting an accurate reading when the fluid is clean and almost transparent, even in bright sunlight. Dipstick tube and dipstick are undamaged and fastened correctly. I'll report back with my findings. Thanks for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
