Default Noise on the Driver Side..

What the hell could it be? There is a gurgling sound to it...almost mechanical. I do have aftermarket swaybars and downpipes...these were all checked and tighten not too long ago.....

HELP..before I waste my time at the dealer...

P.S. no CEL...(knock on wood)

thanks in advance

It happens at low speeds.... <30, but I checked the DPs there was nothing remotely close to incdicate anything would rub. What about the sway bars?

Default Possible IDLER PULLEY ...lets see what the dealer says

A Mechanic sugested to me it might be the IDLER Pulley...so I am taking it to get looked at. He also states that when the S4 came out this was a common issue.
