Exhaust Squeak I have just recently developed, quite possibly the most annoying noise I've ever heard emitted from a car. Its random, but when it starts, there is NO stopping it. If you have ever heard a hamster run in a wheel, then you know what this sounds like. Its a annoying squeak, like something rubbing back and forth, very audible, I will try and get a video if it soon. Its **** like this that makes me hate my car. Every time I turn around, it starts making another noise that makes it feel like a old turd.
ANY guesses on what this would/could be or how to fix it? I came home one night after it was making this noise, and when I closed the door ( car was off ) it made the noise from just the door closing. I went to the back of the car and kicked the passangerside pipe, and it make the noise again. IDK wtf it could be. I was under the car today and was banging around on **** to see if I could get it to make the noise, and it didn't... **** like this pisses me off.

I had the same problem on mine, not NEARLY that bad though! I bought new exhaust hangers and that seemed to do the trick pretty well. Good luck, I can see where that would drive you up a freakin' wall! Hope you fix it soon.

how do I fix it? also, can I somehow tuck the tips more than they are?
Its little things like this that make our cars feel old, but as soon as you fix them your happier than a ****** in a ***** factory.

that is probley the hanger just after the exhaust gets over the rear axle..... there is a rubber insert that the bracket rest on top of and more times than not the rubber insert backs out some and then you have metal rubbing metal.
try readjusting the rubber insert and if you have some thick grease or graphite spray put some between the hanger bracket and the top side of the rubber insert

Just look around your pipes, follow them the whole length to see if it is close or touching anything. Just adjust it to get a little more clearance. If you have those ball type connections or flanges with the springs (instead of the clamps) it might be from that. Otherwise they are probably right, check your hangers
