You might have broken the platic under cover for the engine bay. I did the same thing with my PPW. Just look way underneath the front nose of the car. If its drooping, then it broke from the radiator support like mine did. Good luck.

So is it still doing it?
Also, does it sound like something is rattling just in front of between the seats? And included in that question "do you have test pipes".

I went threw a big puddle when mine were warm and they warped a bit and bump the firewall.

You'll need to do more than just look. Put the front up on jack stands and check (pull) on the belly tray itself to see if it's broken in either the front or back. It may scape with water or mud and then spring back into shape. It comes off easily with 10 MM bolts and a few plastic clips holding it in.

Im thinking that you warped them. I warped mine so they rattle when cold but go back to normal when i heat them up a bit.

Try letting it cool down and starting it back up and driving around a bit. If you get some sound then thats probably what it is.

you should pop your hood, release hand brake, put it in 1st, then ghost ride your whip. You'd probably be able to better tell where the noise is coming from if your outside your car.

That's why you don't go threw puddles. If you through a rock or something into the puddle to check the depth, you could've saved yourself. You'll pull threw this don't worry.

I try to avoid going threw puddles... Especially deep ones...

I know that you feel a need to post something when you dont have any idea about whats going on but next time you should probably keep your dumbass comments to yourself.

The man has a problem and asked the community for help and you give him this ****.

As for those who are actually intelligent, let the thread continue.

What i meant my my comment, DUMBASS, was that he should probably have someone drive his car SLOWLY, perhaps in an empty parking lot and have him listen to where the sound might be coming from. The man obviously can't seem to spot where the sound is coming from while the car is not in motion. I suggest that you try to read between the lines first before you try to $hit talk. If you can't figure that out, maybe a few more years in high school is necessary.
