Rattling exhaust note?!?!
Happens around 3k and sometimes down low at 1k. It sounds like metal furiously rattling against another metal. I took a look at my exhaust system when the car was on a lift while getting an oil change and found nothing. The tech said it's probably my exhaust being broken in but it's weird to have a rattling noise like that. Anyone else experience this?

i have had this problem i believe...at first it was because the piping from the downpiping on my right muffler was not connected to the muffler. But then i got it welded together and the sound was still there...my mechanic said that it might be something internal and to replace that right muffler. I just bought the Supersprint instead hahaha good luck with that

hmm... could be the muffler eh? does the supersprint rattle? anybody else with an exhaust have this prob. anyone with a spugen exhaust having this prob too or am i the only one. maybe its in the design. as long as the noise is "normal" then my mind will be at peace with this matter.

i had a similar problem with my spugen single exhaust. I took it to my mechanic and turned out someone put a rock inside of the exhaust. Might be something as simple as that, id check it out.

ok adjust hangers, check for rocks, check driveshshaft. the 1st 2 are within my capabilities but checking the driveshaft will be a last resort as i will probably have to bring it to the dealer for that.

I had the same problem with my.. Invidia Exhaust System.. All I did was order new Cusco Hangers and replace the OEM hangers with these.. Most likely your exhaust is hitting up against something.. The Cusco hangers give more or a stiff hold, which will reduce the shaking that's probably causing the rattling... I say just get new hangers.
