Same here. Someone else mentioned that it sounds like paper flapping in the breeze. Great description for those that have not experienced this. There are a lot of annoying sounds that these cars can make (i.e. wind noise on the freeway is louder than any muffler). But the "flutter" is truly annoying and gets harder to live with the longer you have it. I suppose that exhaust pop from a Weber system is another of those sounds that others just deal with. Perhaps more period correct, too.

Karls car will be running soon so we'll have some real feedback on whether it works. What was that about a lifetime beer supply................????????
Looking forward to reading the updates. Now I just need to find a beer truck idling next to a 7/11 that I can steal.
