Rattling after dp/exhaust install

Chrisred · 04-06-2011, 05:20 PM

Installed dp n full exhaust and there's this rattle/shaking from inside the car at about 1800 rpm at low throttle. Some say it's the middle console and if u stuff some towels in compartments it will stop. Well I did all that and it still does it. So anyone any ideas???

Ya I'm having that same issue....mine sounds like it's coming from under where the arm rest is (I have an e90).

This happened gradually after the install of mine exhaust.....

Idk, it's getting kinda annoying, kinda wish I went with an exhaust that's less loud......it's kinda raspy/rattling at low rpms....lol

Had a similar issue, found out it was the exhaust rubbing on the chassis brace / flex plate under the car. Made a few adjustments and most of the vibrations are gone.

No I don't think it's that. It definitely sounds internal vibration of dash/console
