Inspect your exhaust heat shields for rust. Remove them. Inspect your motor mounts for excess play.

Now that I've actually listened to the noise, that's...that's not a rattle noise. That's a "you have a hole in your exhaust" noise. Inspect your exhaust for cracks and leaks. If you can't find any leaks, look into replacing your muffler. Sounds like you have some cheap **** N1 knockoff on there.

Granted, the speaker on the computer at work sucks donkey ********, so maybe my opinion will change when I get home and listen to it on a proper stereo.

The batting within the muffler could have broken.

Because when you're in gear, the engine is under load, and is actually producing exhaust gas with velocity and heat. When you just rev not in gear, there's no load, so heat is lower, pressure is lower, and gas velocity is lower.

Again, though, I can't really get a proper ear on the clip. My opinion might change when I get home from work. Or it might not. In the meantime, check for exhaust leaks, and do yourself a favor and just remove the heat shields.

After listening to it on speakers worth two *****, I'm sticking with "Your exhaust is shitty."

Also, for the love of ****, please figure out which one of your turn signal bulbs is out and replace it, or if you're using LED signals, get an LED flasher relay.

I'm so glad that I gave my time to help you tonight, and you decided to act like a child and delete all of your posts. What are you, 12? Do you understand the intent of a web forum? And I haven't even remotely been rude to you yet.

Yet.

Haha, you deleted the thread content and now no one else can learn from your experience and the advice found in this thread.
Nice.
