Does anybody else have this noise??
Does anybody else have this noise?? It seems to have started after I installed my Hooker longtubes, ORP, and loudmouth. It is coming from the back of the car. I think it may be in where the trunk closes. It is a rattling, and shaking type noise.. that sounds like metal. It is pretty loud. My exhaust is really loud (obviously), and a lot of times I hear it over my exhaust. Also it gets worse as I get up in the RPM's so I am thinking that the exhaust rattled something loose.
Let me know if you guys have heard or experienced this problem.
Thanks

Re: Does anybody else have this noise?? I have the rattling noise too, right after I installed my loudmouth. I thought it was the exhaust, so I tightented the clamps, but to no avail. However, mine goes away (or I can't hear it) at high RPM's, so I'm not sure if ours has the same problem. I'm thinking that the piping is vibrating against the heat shields at some point below the rear seats, or possibly above the axle. Here's what I suggest: I am jacking my car up, putting it on stands, removing the rear wheels, and starting it. I'm going to check every inch of that damn pipe until I find what the problem is....I hate rattles, so I suggest you do the same.
Re: Does anybody else have this noise?? My I-pipe was buzzing the gas tank heat shield
after Y-pipe install, there are a lot of close
pieces of metal back there and any motor mount
flex can put you into contact. Anything that's
less than 1/2" away from the pipe must be a
suspect. You probably have to adjust the Y-
and I-pipe and retighten in the "all quiet"
position.

Re: Does anybody else have this noise?? it is quiet normal. it is just the exhaust resonation. it does it on mine also. but that is just my opinion. good luck.

Re: Does anybody else have this noise?? MIKE, I had the same problem on my '02 Z with the Loudmouth. It was the pipe over the axle vibrating on the fuel tank heat shield. Went under that and wrapped it with exhaust wrap around the bend in the pipe. Result= Problem solved! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Does anybody else have this noise?? I think it's the dreaded drone. My LM vibrates all of the panels in the rear hatch area from 1800-2000, almost like a buzzing. Doesn't really bother me to bad. It is better with the windows down.

Did your problem sound like it was in the car?
