Did you get it fixed? If so, what did the dealer do? :scratch: I have heard the heat shields are screwed on and that tightening the screws fixes the problem. I have just not had the time to take it in to get fixed. If it is an easy fix, I would rather just do it myself.

Still love the car!!

Yeah, mine does it sometimes when I first put it in gear at idle, and sometimes when I am idling at a stop light. It doesn't bother me right now, but I will probably have them look at it next time I have it in for oil change. It's not worth my time to go in for this only.....but I will kill 2 birds with one stone when I have to go in anyway.

Mine does it but I haven't gone back to the dealer yet. I like to have several issues that need to be resolved before going in for service. Since this one is just annoying, I'll wait and see if something more significant comes along.

I heard the best way to fix it is to take the whole thing out and put a Bassani, Flowmaster, or Magnaflow exhaust system in. :P

Mine had it until yesterday, only present when temp is around 35 F. or colder.... Dealer techs allegedly cured problem.. (it was cold this AM and no sign of problem)... Give it a week and if it's not back I'll consider it fixed...
