the noice is like one that is a rattle happens when you are on the gas. not at idle. and sounds like it is from the passenger side floor. also i dont think it is rod knock because when you run her hard there is no noice. the car is a 95 ex coupe with a D16z6. i have I/H

could it be your heatshield?

more specific: heatshield on your headers, cat converter, heat sheild aound the exhaust piping, piping rattling against the body

 

thanks!!! how can i fix the problem??


justin

 

well if its heatshields then you just easily remove them with like a 10mm socket. I had custom piping on my hatch and it rubbed on the gas tank which sounded the same as a heatshield so I had them rebend the piping.

 

lol i just drove my civic with a rattle until one day the heatshield fell off...

i did the same thing in my RX7....i got on it racing this mustang, and it like shot straight out made all kinds of sparks and stuff, look in the rear view and this car started swirving to avoid it......lol.....it was funny at the time.....just glad it didnt cause an accident or something


btw i did wax that mustangs azz

 

yeah, luckily there was no one behind me when mine happened. just was buzzing super loud...then all of a sudden it was like CLINK and fell off onto the side of the road lol.

I take v6 stangs all day.

 

Does it happen if you make a hard turn, too?

By the way it's "noise"

i used to drive a mustang gt, and my car now is pretty close in power, my boys got a 99 cobra motor in his gt, and i waxed him the other day....but he has the stock gt gearing...

as for the "noise" its probably the heat shields under your car....get under there and take the one off that sounds like where your noise is coming from then take a ride....

 

do you need the heat shield??? it will do and damages if i take it off??

If it's the one on the header just take it off. If it's the one on the cat just be careful parking on the grass during the summer after you've driven for awhile. The main purpose of the heatshield on the cat is to keep you from catching grass on fire when you park on it.

I sure hope so...they run like 17 second 1/4 miles (well the newer ones are a bit faster, but yeah).

I used to HATE losing to my friend's V6 mustang.

 

This got a lil off topic lol...but to the OP...look under the car while somebody taps the gas, jack it up if you have to....BE CAREFUL...and listen/look for the rattle and pinpoint what it is. If it is heat shield (which is most likely is) just rip it off
