I had this. Interestingly, it was loud with my old OFT tune, but I just flashed to the tune released in February and I'm not getting it anymore.
well i didnt have this before or..i didnt notice it, it only happens occasionally. i got this car 3 months ago...
i didnt flash anything yet....unless my previous owner did...

I believe this is normal. It is the variable valve timing (VVT) kicking in, so sort of like V-TEC. On a stock car it is probably fairly quiet but if you get a tune it will make it far more aggressive and it sounds like a tin can shooting around in your engine. Kicks in around 3500rpm-4500rpm where the dip is.

I complained in the past about this when I got my OFT but people seem to be OK with the tradeoff.
Some info about VVT: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47263
i hope its normal. I got this car pretty stock,,unless the previous owners do something crazy stuff and OFT.

anyways to find out if he flashed or not?
