Its when the engineers wire the speakers wrong causing the sound to be transmitted through the exhaust

Nope your vehicle is equipped with TPS, which basically means when your tire preasure is low some retard drives up next to you, motions to lower your window, then yells "looks like you have a flat"

I did not install the TPS in my new wheels so now I just have a monkey in the trunk that hits me in the head with a hammer everytime I drive my car with low tires.

rattle confirmation.. is this coming from the exhaust? if this is the right sound then i'd say this is a pretty good video of the rattle

EDIT: took it in to the dealer.. getting the muffler replaced this wed., service guy said it will be an identical muffler model

I am not sure if this has come up in any previous threads, and I don't really have time to read through them all, but I met a guy who basically took off his muffler(s) and ran straight pipes to the tips. It sounded pretty sweet and gave him a noticeable performance increase. Any opinions?

Sorry, I left something out on my previous post. He ran straight pipes from the resonators. So he left the dual cats and dual resonators. Sounds sweet! Any opinions?

^i took my car in today. i left it at 10am.. at 12 i get a call "oh, i was not informed that we were out of the muffler and the part is backordered for two weeks." im pissed because i was supposed to leave for newport yesterday night but i stayed an extra day just to get the exhaust fixed

i had to come back and pick my car up.. they didnt even wash it :/ now i have to live with this stupid sounding tin can exhaust!

which dealership do you go to sky? my family lives in studio city and i went to van nuys. so far this is the ONLY bad experience ive had there, they are usually exceptionally good.
