Does anyone else have that metallic clanging/shaking sound when they accelerate or let RPMs fall slowly? I notice it alot at low speeds and it's loud as hell when you drive by another car or a wall/median on the road. It sounds like a tin can and it's hard to ignore.

I really want to know how to get rid of this sound without overhauling any systems completely. Does anyone know what actually causes this noise?

Thanks

 

Exhaust hitting the rear sway bar? You really need to provide more detail on your car's mods to get any sort of answer...

 

Do you have test pipes?

 

I have a stock 350Z as far as exhaust goes, so I'm not sure what would be causing this noise...

 

improperly secured exhaust hitting the lower arm of the left rear tire?

 

^ had that very issue on my previous car. Should be an easy fix.

 

Is it a rattling/poping sound? Are you running TPs or HFCs?

 

Never heard that sound before on my Z...

 

Check your undertray, thats what my metal clang came from..

 

i have the same thing since i put my borla on...it only happens when the exhaust is hot and at low rpms

 

i had that for a day then it went away the next..if possible put it on a lift and check for clearance issues.

 

mine happens when i deaccelerate at low gears. Sounds like a rattlesnake like wat others have said. I think mine is rasp tho

 

Check to see if your exhaust is hitting either the sway bar in the rear, or the EVAP canister (little black metallic square box by the arm of the exhaust right before the muffler).
