Default Popping noise during idle?

Below is a video ive uploaded of the sound as its 100x easier to diagnose a problem than me explaining it over the internet.

It appears to be popping noise every 10 - 15 seconds, the sound feels like its possibly around the transmission? besides this noise, the car feels great, no stalling, power loss, or weird rpm idle...this just normal?

btw, only cel its throwing is from the evap sensor which i think has to do with the evo2 exhaust which forced us to relocate the evap canister

Was the air conditioner on when you made the video? If so, it's probably the AC compressor clutch engaging. It sounds like the cooling fans are running, which they are supposed to do whenever the AC is on.

Try it with the AC off, and see if the noise is still there.
