LOL you know, I never bother revving mine that high so I've never noticed anything like that... maybe I'll try it later.

not sure about this, hopefully a tech can help you out. i'd say write a longer description of exactly what's happening.

^^^ you can't chip a 12v, so I'm gonna go with no.

One thing nice about the 12v, it has a pretty nice growl out the exhaust when you give it the beans.

its pretty odd.I'm not up at 5k all the time but when I do, the sound is there. and yeah, not chipped.

haha although it does sound kinda cool, im a little bit worried about it. i'll see if i can get a video up of it. maybe that'll help figure out what happening.

i just tookthe carout for a runand the sound is there. i was thinking, would an exhaust leak somewhere make the "spooling"sound? oh and the camera is with my brother so can't do it right now.

Yeah you can, it's just a really pointless waste of $600 for like, 3 horsepower.
