So since I've bought the car two years ago it's had a magnaflow X on it and it's always had a slight lope to it, plugs, compression and leak down tests all come out okay. Now I doubt the car is cammed since I've always thought the idle was normal but now that I've heard about 4 terminators mine does sound different. I've heard bassani x's, prochambers, and a H pipe car and a stock mid pipe. The question is, why does my car sound like it does? It can't just be my mid pipe. It won't let me post the video here I'll get a YouTube link.

Sounds pretty close to mine as well. Yours is a little high maybe. Definitely not cammed.

I should add I was talking to a guy I know and his idles the same way. We both noticed it after swapping to an aftermarket MAF. I've thought about swapping the stock one back in.

Sounds like the typical idle with TR6 copper plugs. It sounds like a very slight miss at idle. Its normal and nothing to worry about.

That's how mine sounds and I'm always paranoid about a miss. Lol

Same here..

I always had a slight miss..after changing coils for other reasons, it seemed to go away along with the stall issue

Exactly how mine sounds, referred to as the '4v warble' - just a characteristic of the cars it seems
