I don't know if this sound is called anything special, but what is it called when you downshift and let the car slow itself down, and you hear this deep gurgling? It sounds like Satan is boiling a thick pot of awesome.
It happens when I stop accelerating at about 3k RPMs and let the engine naturally slide back down to about 1200. While the engine is decelerating the gurgling sound comes out of what seems to be the middle of the car (the muffler chamber?). When it gets to equilibrium speed, or when I apply gas, it stops making the sound.
I absolutely love the sound, and would love to be able to enhance it if that is possible. Or at least know what it's called (if it's called anything).

Its called a bad IAC. That gurgaling sound is gas in the exhaust igniting because the IAC that is supposed to be wide open at the time is stuck and cut air out causing a rich condition.

See if you can find a clip that has the Dynomax 3" Ultraflo catback system. The pipes are so huge, that it crackles, burbles, backfires, and makes children cry. At 5000 RPM it sounds like screaming demons are singing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards.

No it wont hurt. Rich never hurts it just carbons up the engine. Just clean the IAC.
