hey guys i really need some help on this before i take it to get checked. when i turn off the car it makes a weird noise as its turning off. i dont know what it is and its kinda freakin me out. i know my throwout bearing is making a lil bit of noise can the noise be due to that?????

 

can you please describe the noise so that we may better assist you?

 

sorry...its like a rattling noise when its turning off. i was thinking it was maybe the exhaust thats rattling but im not sure

 

like metal rattling, like plastic rattling, we need some detail, really indepth

 

its more like metal rattling.....ok you know when you do the ghetto exhaust and remove or clear the cats? and it makes that rattling noise when u drive or when the car turns off ? well thats the kind of noise it makes. im sorry its kind of hard describing a noise throught the computer lol

 

just an idea, get someone to have there head under your hood or listening on each side under the car or where ever you hear it the most and see if you can't isolate the location

 

I have a similar problem. Im almost 100% sure what the cause is; I removed the cats and Replaced them with TEST PIPES, now everytime I accelerate hard I hear a Rhaspy noise coming from the exhaust....When it had the cats on The noise was not Present. So I know what the problem is...I might be putting my stock cats back on.

Anyone else have this problem with TEST PIPES installed?

 

mrbritt: thanks alot man ima go to my friends shop he's got a lift n ima do exactly that.

az: yea i was thinkin that maybe this car had mods done and they were taken off when they traded it in and didnt do a good job of putting it back to stock.

all in all thanks alot really appreciate it this site is the best.

 

yes the test pipes do that, but the purpose, incase you don't know, is for more exhaust flow out, the noise from them is just a draw back

 

Sounds like you're describing the same noise the clutch/flywheel makes on the MT's when coming to a stop after turning off the car. It's normal noise according to dealership and my car does it frequently.

I also have that test pipe rattle noise too and it's different, but I am getting the CAT bracket installed back and welded to the test pipes tomorrow in hopes of stopping it.

 

if its like a clutch chatter type noise its normal on 6mt's mine does it as well

 

word

 

normal

 

+1 on normal. If you want to be sure, hold clutch down as you turn off the car. The noise rattle should not be there. Then try it again without holding down the clutch. you should hear the rattle now. It's normal clutch chatter on the 6MT's...

 

Clutch chatter. Try pushing in the clutch next time you shut off the car. The noise should reduce. Normal, but annoying.
