I just noticed this on my car. I just switched to the Veilside exhaust. My sound does not depend on rpm and is not a steady rythm. I't sounds like its coming from the area where my exhaust connects to the cat. I can't here anything in the engine bay. It's loud when you intially start the car and quiets down after a few seconds. I think it has to do with the exhaust heating up. I hear it when I shut the car off for a few seconds. I was worried that it was my valves but I don't hear anything in the engine bay while the engine is running.

my mechanic has it narrowed down to a rod bearing in the #1 cylnder...which after checking with some guy who track their car a fair amount, that is common due to oil starvation...... so...hopefully it is about $300-$500 to fix it and i am good again.
I may get a baffled oil pan, which is allowed in the Honda Challenge (i checked the rules).

I had a flutter just above idle (like a baseball card in a bicycle spoke), and it turned out to be the tensioner.
mxt, how did you resolve your issue?

I just noticed this EXACT noise in mine...except that I just had a new head and tensioner installed.
