That only works when you're not stopped. Lol. I've got the N1 also but idleing the chirp wins.

Meh. I'm old. Listen to the radio pretty loud already. It's most annoying in drive thru's. That's really the only place it bothers me.

My JDL UEL and N1 is pretty quiet at idle and if I drive it civil. Catless may be a different story on the front pipe. Chirping is very intermittent.

Anyone notice a relationship between air temperature and chirping? I don't seem to have this issue in the cold, but it pops up occasionally when its above 10 degrees C outside, especially after a long drive.

Owned the car for a year now, started having the issue a few weeks ago. Was all clear 35,000km into it

Now that you mention it. Mine started this ish last year about this same time for me. I'm gonna let the local stealership swap out my fuel pump again. I hate the chirping personally.

I notice it. Recently it's been getting cooler in California. Can has stopped chirping. I'm at almost half tank right now... usually at this point my car chips. Right now I don't have any chips at half tank.

Must be something to do with heat contracting or expanding the metals and the heat also changes the chemical structure of the gas a little or something.

Imagine if no one on earth smacked their gum when chewing. Then one day you're sitting at the mall and somone walks past you smacking and popping as loud as they can. You're first reaction is not gonna be "dayum that's awesome". More like "WTF is wrong with them?!"
Most cars dont chirp. So it's annoying being the flashy sexy person that smacks and pops in public.
Just my opinion btw.

That was a weird fucking analogy

Or was it a flashy, sexy, gum smacking analogy?

I don't want to summon the crickets by saying this but I'm around 550 miles, ethanol-free fuel and nothing yet. I'm so scared of the crickets that every little sound I hear makes me panic...oh god, is that the chirp?!

Funny story, brand new Jeep Wrangler was parked next to me at lunch with its engine running, and what do I hear? Crickets! Looks like we aren't the only one with this engine sound now.

Welcome to the new normal, folks.

Acura MDX yesterday in downtown Austin had crickets. I lol'd as I walked by. "That car has crickets too! Enjoy them."

Got direct injection? Let me play you the song of my people.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.
