i just replace ps,alt,a/c belts, and now in 2nd through 5th gear (probably happens in 1st, too, but less noticeable) i can feel a rubbing (about 1/2 second intervals) through the gas pedal, at 3400 - 3600 rpm. it is also noticeable in the exhaust note (my exhaust is pretty loud), it sounds uneven. could this be caused by my belts being too tight? i tried adjusting all three, but its still there. however, the ps belt is still too tight, i can hear it when i turn sharply. any ideas?? thanks.

but he did say it was his exhaust so it could be his muffler bearing...

Thanks, RxFX101, but it turns out the headlight belts were shot, plus i was low on alternator fluid

gotta keep up on the alternator levels!

And yes, Halogen fluid makes a big difference, along with replacing muffler bearings and Kanooter valves.

The radar beams will bounce right off it...it's the same technology that they use on the stealth bombers.
