Hi all!
Murphy's law strikes again! I bought a 06' Ex on the 17th after test driving it three or four times. I never noticed this noise but not that I have been driving it a lot I now can't not notice it. Often, but not all the time when I am at a complete stop and start to get up to speed the engine noise is incredibly loud. It almost sounds like a bus getting up to speed and people tend to look to see whats coming when I drove through the city.
It also seems like the RPM's are having a hard time coming back down. Seems to stay around 2500 and then will eventually make its way to 1500 where I believe it is supposed to be.
I made an attempt to take a recording of what it sounds like here.
Any help is appreciated! Anyone have any ideas?
Steven

I am getting an oil change on it today will have them replace air filter and make sure it is secured?
