It sounds normal. The condensation drain tube is probably dripping on the exhaust pipe causing the sizzling sound.

Yeah its normal, mine does it to. I wonder how someone walking by a cobra would react if they heard that (it sounds like a snake hissing).

Happens with the Fox Mustangs as well

The A/C condensation drain port is postioned perfectly so that water dripping out lands on the exhaust.


On a hot humid day you would think you were frying eggs under your hood.

I guess a good thing about hearing the sound is that your drain port is not plugged/clogged. That can lead to some funky odors in your vents ...
