I recently got the Motordyne Shockwave TDX2 installed. However, my exhaust is causing rattling when 1st start up and low rpm rollin. This is also the 1st aftermarket exhaust I've ever gotten for a car I owned, so looking for anyone up in the North Dallas area that is good with exhausts to help identify the parts that are rattling and/or help me fix the rattles ;\

 

I can, but booked until next week.. You already have my #..

 

Thanks Jake. Let me know when you got time.

I just can't seem to pin point the issue. It sounds like I need to do that spacer mod for my suspensions cuz when I hit small bumps @ 40mph, i would hear a clunk/rattle sound as well ever since I had springs installed. Now after the exhaust got installed, I get that rattle that sounds like it's in the hatch or the 2 exhaust cannisters / straight piping area above that M brace.

 

I have the same rattle i'm suspecting - i think i know what it is - but - i will do some investigation and tell you what i find tonight - I have no carpet or plastic so it should be an easy thing to pinpoint -

 

sorry - didn't do any investigating yet.... -.-

 

so I kick my muffers/tips and it makes some clunking/chirping sound. -_- damn I need to get my swaybars soon so Jake can take a look at it at the same time haha

 

Have you tried raising the car and taking a look? It should be fairly simple to move the exhaust around and see where its touching.

 

Did you buy the exhaust new or used. It could be something rattling inside the muffler or it could be that the exhaust is making contact with something under your car and causing that sound.

 

i had this same issue when i had my cats replaced, but mine was the cat hitting the shield on the front of the car, but when i had it on lift looking for it culprit i noticed that mine would also hit around the brace area... i loosened up the bolts and adjusted everything over a little and i havent heard it since

 

raise your car and try to shake things around... something might be lose.
i had a similar issue... turned out one of my o2 sensors had come a bit lose and was making a rattling noise at certain rpms.
