**Update on the Comptech replacement***
Glad I had them install the new exhaust since they were working on my roof as well.
DOH!!!!!!

Possible problem found. The noise does not seem to be coming from the inside of the left muffler. The weld on the right muffler was broken. This was allowing the whole pipe to rotate within the right muffler. I had the teach hold the pipe and I was able to twist the muffler left and right. There was nothing holding it. Also its a good thing that you did not attempt this on your own. The exhaust is stainless but the bolts are not. All four bolts rusted solid and broke during removal. Right now they are in the process of drilling them out. You will not be charged more for labor. I told the service dept to bill the parts dept for the difference

That's definitely good news for me

well, the exhaust is on.....the new mufflers look different... they are flatter, more rectangular.. (vs the old version which was a little more round). tips look the same though.
i'll find out more about the roof rattle piece today. 3 techs drove the car yesterday and go figure.. none heard it. One more attempt today.. if no one hears anything, then I'll go pick up my car after work and figure something out.
