Get her up in the air and check the clearances, maybe now would be a good time to change oil & filter....Gary

For some reason, the way mine are making noise as if they were knocking under my feet tells me it is NOT normal... Also, I got my TB cleaned and my G threw a p0507 ( high idle rpm ) code.... I did an ecu reset, still the same, disconnected the battery for one hour, still did not change. When I come to a complete stop the engine runs at 1300rpm and drops to 800-850 rpm after a few seconds.... Any thoughts on what that could be?

Test pipes should not cause the engine to "torque" anymore than normal. There actually should actually be more clearance than the stock cats had. Something definetly sounds wrong. I'd get it up on a lift or atleast some jacks and have someone rev it while you're underneath...see if you can see anything happening or atleast pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

My Megan Resonated TP's have a serious rattle around 2k.. Ive visually seen it from under my hood. Exhaust wrap took care of it for me. Although I don't know how much help this will be since this doesn't seem to be your problem...

These fly by wire TB are very sensitive...did the same on another car and came out of range doing the same thing yours is doing... my friend came over with his $4500 snap on scanner and was able to fix it for me... he only stated that it was out of range and that his scanner was able to reset it back.

i've read that 650-750 rmp is the correct idle rpm, so i'm guessing that 800-850 is too high? or is it ok?
