I know this has been discussed but I'm trying to find out if the dealer will fix a exhaust rattle by other drivers experiences.

My exhaust rattles at 1800 to 2100 RPM until it warms up..but sometimes it still rattles after warm.

I kicked the exhaust this morning to see what gives and it made the rattle sound. I sounds like a metal ball is inside of the muffler (like a spray paint can).

Will the dealer replace this under warranty?

Or am I better off buying an aftermarket one...(this was in my plans but not so soon). I still want a good OEM setup to put away for the day I part out and sell the G.

 

definitly talk to your choice of dealership first, and see if they will do anything about it =)

 

if they don't you can buy mine.........

 

I had the same thing. Rattle noise at cold start. Most of the time it went away after warmup. I don't think the dealer will do anything. I switched out my stock muffler with the greddy sp2 so I don't have a solution for you.
I would just live with it. Good luck.

 

I had the same problem. I found out that it was the heat shield that was loose. Instead of fixing it I just bought the stillen cat back exaust. This was the best mod I have done so far. I recomend that you do the same.

 

Thanks...Im going to creep under my car this weekend and see if I can tighten anything up. If not, well i'll call the dealer to see what they will say...it a 50 mile drive to where I brought the G...argh...

I am still researching on exhaust setups...and looking for deals. I can live with it right now (thats what the radio is for I guess).

 

yah! but the stillen exaust system not only sounds better, it also gives you a lot more power. Just keep that in mind. Good luck!!!!!!!!

 

Ok this is an update on the muffler rattle....I should of check earlier, but didn't want to creep under the car cause it was kinda chilly outside...anyways.... I found a rock the size of a baseball laying on the bracket that connects to the hangers...duh...I don't know how that rock stay there so long especially when I always push the G to test its limits. I was getting louder and louder so i decided to get under the car.

Oh well...I guess this bracket is a debris catcher. I can wait to save up some for an exhaust.

 

check the heat sheilds at the cats while you're under your car. Mine were rattling too. I took them off, stuck on some dampening material (Cascade Vmax) and reinstalled them. No more rattles put the damping material on the top side (away from cats).

 

im getting the raddle too!! cant belive it was a rock!!

 

Heat shield!!! Remove it no more rattle!!
