Just a few questions from a newbie...
Good day to all! I first have to say that I LOOOOOOOVE my new cl-s! I do have a few questions for you guys though.
1 - Does anyone have engine noise when sitting at idle? The noise sounds like a lifter or something clicking constantly. My dealership tells me it is the fuel injectors firing and there is nothing i can do to prevent the clicking sound. I call the bullshit whistle on that! Can someone please shed some light???
2 - How does you-alls standard exhaust sound? Is it subdued or throaty? I drove one before i bought this one and the exhaust was very throaty....the one i bought is not. Any ideas???
Thanks guys!!

1) Mine usually does not do this. I must say that I have heard it before... but only once or twice in the year I've had the car.
2) The stock exhaust is kind of subdued. When the car is cold it's a little more throaty, but once it warms up it's quiet. That's the reason that I bought the Comptech mufflers b/c I wanted the throaty sound!!

I've heard the noise also, but the service guys at my dealship said it has something to do with a sensor for the temp. Who knows.. They could be giving me BS also..
As for the exhaust.. I still have stock exhaust, and I think that the only time it makes any sounds it when the car/exhaust is still cold, but once it warms up, then you pretty much can't hear a thing. This is good especially where I live, I sware the POPO's here don't have anything better to do other then harass people with nice cars.
.. I was recently pulled over for having the PIAA's in the driving lights.
