Default Engine chugging sound

Alright I think it is the MDS kicking in, but i just want to make sure. At highway speeds the motor will go from a smooth sound to sounding almost like it is getting choked out. it has done this ever since i have had it, so I am certain non of the mods have anything to do with it.

thanks

Look here on how to add that light if you want
