Weird Noise

mikec · Aug 14th, 2007, 03:25 PM

I asked this a while back...but I noticed a rattling noise when I am pressing the gas pedal. It is not consistent...but it sounds like somethings loose. I am concerned that it may be something serious.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah mine does the same shit, I think its the exhaust so I'll let you know if and when I have it tightened

The heat sheilds for the exhaust are crappy. Mine have been removed for quite some time now. Also check for any rubbing of the exhaust. Do you have an aftermarket header with a midpipe with a flex section? Cuz those can crap out as well due to quality of build.

Where are the heat shields? I have the same annoying noise on my Sentra.

There are several. One just above the muffler, above the mid-pipe or second cat (stock or otherwise), and one that goes on the stock exhaust manifold.

Yeah I'm pretty sure all of my heat shields are gone I know the mid pipe one is I ripped it off my self cause it was comming off, and I know the header heat shield is also.
