Car making weird noises.

Basically it makes a weird grrrrnt noise starting in 1st gear and a little bit in 2nd gear and on turns then it doesnt make noise after that.What is it? Is it the suspension? It doesnt sound like its coming from the engine or anything. But the car has been sitting out for 2 years and has just been fixed up a month ago. Everything runs fine. Should I just not worry about it since its not really effecting anything?

I'm not really sure about the noise you describe but do you think it could be a loose exhaust heat shield?

Ok I took a video. You can hear it right in the beginning when I stop and when I start moving. Then again on the 2nd turn you can hear that grrrrnt sound when Im in 2nd gear. But when I start accelerating you cant hear it anymore.

Btw Im not trying to show off by accelerating fast in the beginning its just hard to shift and turn 1 handed haha.

RE: Car making weird noises.

CV Joint or axle makes bad noise when you turn and it appear that way with your video. Look on the axles and see if the boots are damage. My makes the similar noise and I am going to replace it next week. It makes the noise when I turn or accelerate hard.

You can also look for lose shields on your exhaust pipe starting from the header. When your engine is cool, grab those pieces and see if it shakes with your hands.
