It has gotten louder over the last few months. I only drive the car local in the summer while I am home from college, but I will be going back to school in September and I have to drive home about 80 miles every weekend to work and I don't want it to get worse. I asked my friend who is a motor head about this and he said either something is loose or it could be the catalytic converter. I hope that it is only something loose. I need to get it checked out, and I will soon, but I was just wondering if anyone who reads this has any input on how to help. Thank you.

You can test exhaust pipe by hit the tail pipe with a sneaker or rubber mallet while the engine is off and if it is heat shield you will get the noise you hear... if it is the heat shield you can get a few large hose type clamps ( used for diesel engines ) connect them together and put around shield and catalytic coverter loADER>XI< KaptCrunch, RANDALL and Damage_inc- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a I beam. It has a center bushing that will let the beam drop down and beat on the bracket. Just look and see if bushing is not centered. If not then remove and replace or you can take a socket and a hammer an put back in place will last for awhile. Or at least that is what was wrong with mine.
