Rattles from exterior

[arowana1]

my car seems to give some rattles when im moving off... sounds like exhaust vibrations hitting against another piece of metal... u normally can hear something similar in taxi, van, etc...

anyone has it or can offer suggestions apart from bringing in to pml? so far not consistent nor pronounced so im pretty sure going in to pml will be a waste of time. csa probably cant hear it.

Ho Arowana1,

Did you do any surgery to your muffler? I mean mod the muffler by opening it up and "tong" the pipe, then weild it back? If yes, this is the problem.

Thanks.
