This question pertains to a phenomenon I experienced in my car a few months ago which baffled me, I figured it out, and the problem was quite unusual. Here's what happened: I was driving home one night and I noticed a rattling noise starting from a stop or in low RPM's. It seemed like it was coming from the engine compartment, and it was very metallic. Just post a guess and I will continue to post hints over time.

 

tell me what is the currnet state of tune of your can/ mode/ and what has not been done

 

At the time I had a DC Sports intake, custom exhaust, full suspension upgrade, R-compund tires, Jet ECU.

 

heat shield?

 

Good guess, but no, at the time I had it removed because I accidentally cracked it. Dont ask how.

 

mmmmmmmmm yes?

mmmmmmmmmmm no. But it does involve the exhaust.

 

the hangers? or whatever the hell you wanna call them

 

Another good guess, but no.

 

My first guess would have been your DC Sports Air Intake. Sometimes, the K&N filter will vibrate against the fender well. At least, I've had that experience. Anyway, you said part of the exhaust.....Hmm....I'm out of ideas for now.

When I first got the intake, it did make a noise, but it was against the battery, I fixed it 30 sec later. That noise was not even close however.

 

fucked up cat?

 

Close, very close, but no.

 

02 sensor was lose?

 

i'd say a connection point somewhere in the exhaust system, maybe between header/test pipe (or cat, whichever you had) maybe someone didnt tighten the nuts tight enough...

 

a lot of accords had a problem with resonance frequencies in their headers around 2500 rpm....

 

No, and no. But so very close. It is actually outside the exhaust system, but is very close.

 

the heat shield on the underside of the car

 

midget with a cap gun crawled under ur car?

 

****, that happens on almost any car....

 

he said no heat shield

 

he said no to the heat shield on the header

there are heat shields that follow the exhuast all the way down the underside of the car.

 

too many sammiches.

 

On Point, my car was dropped 2in, I would like to see the midget that could get under my car. I he's so short, maybe I couldn't see him...and give it up with the heatshield. Not the heatshield.

did the bolts come loose that connect the cat to the catback? or the downpipe or anything?
