Jim, thanks for the reply.... I am going to check out the exhaust but I believe the noise is mechanical in nature. The car is making a wrrrring sound which is just barely noticeable at idle but does increase in volume during acceleration. At about 10,000rpm it is most noticeable, and everyone in my family has mentioned it. Doing speeds At highway speeds I do not notice it at all.
Hopefully I will get this figured out before I end up on the side of the road when it's a frosty zero degree's out.
On the up side, at least I was able to install a new hood pad this weekend which should make this car quieter and maybe make it warm up quicker.
Glen
