If it gets louder at idle, its after a long run when trans fluid is hot. Also using the right trans fluid helps.

I agree w/ Dom (and don't think that doesn't worry me! )

That said, speaking of trans rattle, it wasn't always so. After the "500" package was complete, including the Fidanza, Marc upped the idle to 750 rpm. That helped. But, the biggest bang was the new injectors (Accels) (My injectors had been replaced at the time I bought the car, but apparently with NOS (aka same ol sh*t) injectors. It didn't show up until Marc was putting the tune on the new mods, except for the rattle - that I figured was "normal" for a Fidanza. Not so! ) Oh, and I run the Castrol synthetic as well. The combo of idle, injectors operating at 100%, and trans oil (especially when it's cold) and there's NO rattle.

Y'all be the judge: Here's mine idling on a cold (windy) day. Granted it is running stock cams - i.e., Pete's cams might be a bit differerent, I'm guessing.

Check it out!

Go buy a damn Prius if you want quiet.....

Lee drone vs exhaust note are two seperate animals. Corsa solved the drone issue for our cars. When I replace my carpet the Dynamat is going in as well its just a smart mod.

As to a Prius, Not in my lifetime lol

Stocker hold's good to 540-550 rwhp. I don't like the Fidanza. But then again I don't like Corsa either. I like redheads....... it's just one of those thing's D. Save your money and install a stocker.
