Any of you guys have interior rattles after going from a stock exhaust? at about 2000 rpm all the rattles come to life... seems like passenger side door area or rear.. its driving me nuts...

 

Probably a resonating tone - at around 2K is where the dreaded drone usually begins

 

I agree but it makes something inside my car rattle..lol its not the exhaust itself.. its a body interior trim piece I just cant locate it

 

after I changed my exhaust a rattle from the rear of the head liner got a lot worse.

I reduced the problem by inserting foam in the slot above the headliner right where it ends over the rear window.

Still not perfect - but better.

Seems there's a plate or something similar which terminates the headliner at the rear and slots into the bodywork.

It can work loose and cause a rattle which is aggravated by after market exhaust.

thanks will look into that area..

 

i've been thinking the same thing after a few thousand miles...

eventually i just try to drown it out. i've given up trying to fix every rattle in the car. the car is no longer stock so i can't expect it to be quiet like one right?

 

I am SOOOO glad I went back to the stock exhaust, which is raspy enough when I need it to be!

When I put the AWE muffler/cat deletes I noticed more rattles as well. Mostly the seat belts vibrating off of the door jam area. Even though it rattles, I still have a gigantic smile on my face everytime I drive it though. =)

 

Yeah, but wwwaaayyyy too loud!!!!

 

Eh, the loudness is relative. At 3k+ rpm I don't hear any interior rattles. =)

 

What exhaust did you install?

 

i have a switzer exhaust.. and I love it..
