Hey Guys i got a tricky one for you. I have an 02 maxima which is experiencing this rattling noise when i drive like rocks moving around in a tin can. It doesn't seem to be affecting my performance as it rides great. This noise happens only when driving. I have put the car in park then reved it to try and reenact that same noise, but it doesn't make that noise at all when in park(tricky lil bastard). I thought it may have been my exhaust banging around the body but nothing feels that lose or close to be banging anything(all looks snug). I was wondering if any one has experienced this or might have a clue as to what it may be?

Thanks!

Where's the noise coming from? Front? Back? Which side?

Thats the frustrating part it's hard to tell since i'm in the drivers seat and it sounds liek it's everywhere. Thats why i tried parking the car and reving the engine while outside to pin point the exact spot, but it won't make that noise while parked. I recently installed my injen intake and was poking around the exhaust to see if anything was loose and i did manage to shake the piping around a bit to see if i heard anything. Whats odd is i haven't heard the noise much lately ever sine then. I still have a feeling it'll come around. So i guess what we have is that it only occures when driving, and when i mean driving is when i'm pressing the accelerator and gets louder when about to shift gears then stops momentarly until i'm picking up speed again for the next gear. I don't believe its the tranny since the shifting is smooth, and don't feel anything awkward during any shifting from gear to gear(automatic). Sorry for the confusion:/.

Maybe loose splashguards? What kind of CAI did you install? I had put a Place Racing intake on my 99 (You have to cut a big 3-4 inch hole beside the battery) and the cone filter came off and was knocking around behind the fog light.
