This rattle is driving me nuts :mad: only happens when the car is warm and only happens when pulling from a complete stop. It speeds up with the rpm's and only lasts for a few seconds but is loud enough to hear over my flow's. The mufflers are about 8 or 9 years old, could it be something in them rattling after they warm up? Anyone else had a muffler rattle on them?
 
muffler bearings! LOL Just kidding. I had a flow go bad on me like that too. I hit something onthe freeway and it knocked the muffler good but broke something inside. Got a new one and its all good now.
 
yeh, the more i think about it the more i think that its time for a new cat back. the flow's with dumps have been buggin me for a while. everyone tells me they sound good though...
 
I was wondering i have a type of a rattle can it be possible i did some damge to my mufflers i had some bad backfires...a couple weeks ago due to weak ignition and to much fuel what a BANG....that made....lol so i wonder if that is some of the noise i hear...
 
I would also double check that it's not your ebrake cable clacking on something...i've had this happen several times. It could also be the tail pipes like mine are doing right now.
