Dally, if you installed the PSE yourself(?) why don't you remove it to see if the rattle goes away? Standard trouble shooting says that if you had no rattle prior to the PSE, then had a rattle after the PSE, there is no point in removing the bumper...start at the apparent cause. Just a thought. Besides, you have time until the 11th to investigate yourself.

By the looks of things, apparently some PSE's are notorious for having their internal welds come apart. That's what has happened to mine.
Took it to the dealer on Sat and they confirmed it. They are trying to do a warranty replacement for me, but I might be SOL since it wasn't dealer installed. If the dealer can't do a warranty replacement for me, Abdullah is going to make it right.

Update:
If you have a rattle and still have the factory warranty - bring the car in for repair. The rattle was getting worse and the dealer informs me that a: it's a $2100 muffler replacement b. it's not covered by the CPO
Not happy about that at all...

I went in there and there is a flange that was apparently snapped...as if the owner before me hit a curb...snapped the muffler flange and but a scuff on the muffler tip.
They replaced it under warranty for me...

Get the Cargraphic "Medium Sound" Exhaust. Sounds like the PSE but a little louder (in a good way).

On my previous 05, I had the PSE installed by an independent place. When I took the car to inspect a rattle. They charge me $350 for the inspection and said they need to charge me 10 hours of labor to fix the rattle since the dealer did not do the install.

My PSE (factory installed) also rattles real bad during start up especially on cold days. But goes away after warmed up as well.

After painstakingly reading every post, I'm certainly not going with a used PSE on my car. Sounds like a set of Fabspeed or Cargraphic mufflers are not only cheaper, but will probably last a lot longer!

Check out Fister Motorsports.....I have a PSE "Chirping sound" that's driving me nuts.....several of my friends have used Fister and they are very inexpensive and sound similiar to PSE.
