not coming from the downpipe hitting the cross member or firewall?
when my car idols i get a high pitched rattling noise, more of a squeak come to think of it, somewhere in the mid pipe of my exhaust. none of the joints are loose. its a very aggravating sound seeing as its high pitched and loud. you guys have any ideas of what it might be? elaborate
thanks, Gimp

Its common to get stones on the little cross piece below the exhaust half way along if you have used any gravel roads. They make varying types of noises by being wedged between the exhaust and the small bolt on cross piece.
Good luck with it, Andrew

it sounds like it could be similar to mine issue, that when the exhaust is warm it stretch around 10mm, and the exhaust rubs on the rear beam axle. on certain rev range.

You wouldn't happen to have some coins in the rear ash tray would you?
no coins ahaha, its beeing going since i got it, but when i first got the car it was a mild noise, barely noticable, but now its realy loud, its at my mechanics so ill fill you all in when i get my car back...
thanks guys
ok so i got my window fixed and dropped the questions to the mechanic if he had found any problems or heard any noises with my exhaust. he said he couldnt hear anything. i was pretty shocked seeing as i hear it 24/7 from idling to cruising down the freeway. so its still not fixed
if i lift the exhaust with my foot then drop it onto its support it squeaks. i still have no clue on what it is![]()
Maybe the rear rubber hanger is a little tired, try lifting the exhaust up a bit and use a couple of good sized zip-ties to give the hanger some support. You can also use a decent sized hose clamp and adjust it to do the same.
