When i drive a long distance and stop at a certain area, it seems to be a little louder. For example, i went to Maryland and i came back home the next night to Jersey and when i stopped by at a mcdonalds, i heard the rattling a lil louder than normal. could anyone tell me what the possibilities are that is wrong?

I usually use a rubber mallet to tap on the pipes to isolate the source. Often a heat shield on a cat will start to rot away from its mounting points and make a really annoying sound. P.S. does it rattle at White Castle? sorry, I couldn't resist.......... Jud1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when you drilled the hole in the exaust pipe and ran that tube into the trunk to take care of that guy in there you forgot to plug the hole up. Just sayin', shit like that happens all the time, but mostly with Caddy's. Hey deerejon, my computer fell offa fork lift,no shit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it got hot, the stainless case swelled enough to let it rattle, and it almost sounded like a rod knock, Very annoying!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL it also could be the mounting donuts for the exhaust , the way to check if your muffler is any good tap it with a rubber mallet if you hear a sand like shake its toast and the reason why you hear it louder in some places is the echo or acoustics like a drivethru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
