Can someone please tell me what the hell the noise is coming out of the exhaust? I've taken this to the shop 3 times now and each time am told it has been fixed but never is. Noise starts after driving for 15-20 min. Please see youtube video bwlow.

bad baffles in your muffler. test it by warming it up, go underneath, wack each muffler/converter with a rubber mallet. I think you will find it.

when the cats heat up they will start rattling...

Its more of a bumping or puffing sound, not so much a rattle. I should mention this is a new muffler, oem. I've about had it. Ugh . Feels like something is always needing to be fixed.

Strange. It is definitely not your muffler. There's a lot more to an exhaust system than just a muffler. Check all the components.

Did you take it to a mechanic or to a muffler shop?

Took it to a mechanic. Did not have this noise before I had the exhaust replaced

 

[jonl138]

Yep, got her back. Noise is unchanged.

Almost sounds like a glasspack in the video. Are you hearing the sound along the length of the pipe or in a specific area? Couldn't tell from the video.

Just sounds like a bit of a miss in the motor. It might not be the exhaust system, it is just that the new system allows you to hear it.

Thats what I thought at first but had to replace the engine and the noise is the same with this engine as it was with the bad engine

When you replaced the engine i assume that you reused the old ignition and fuel injection system from your old motor. Therefore the things that would cause a miss are the same.
