BBoy I have the buzzing noise at start up too...like a loud bee buzz but kinda metallic though...does the buzzing sound count towards the defect? My G37 was bought in Sept 07 so obviously it was built before Jan 29, 2008.
Do you plan on getting it replaced as per the TSB for the buzzing noise?
EDIT: I just called my dealership and service guy and he is looking into the TSB and seeing how long it will take to get the part in.
DOUBLE EDIT: My service guy just put in an order for the parts needed for replacement. He confirmed that my car qualifies for the TSB and I will just have to leave my car there the night before so they can start it on a cold start and verify the noise. I hope the buzzing noise is good enough to qualify. Looks like I am getting it changed out according to the TSB!! Thanks guys.

I took mine in in March for a muffler vibration and the Dealer said that they were unable to reproduce the problem.
This TSB should help them research what I was talking about.

Well I went in for service today for another issue, but had them check out the muffler/exhaust since I was there. They said they heard a slight rattle and that it would get worse over time, and that they would replace the muffler. There on back order so I have to come back for that. I told him to get the one that is made after Feb. For anybody who had there muffler replaced with the one made after Feb. is it better and does it sound louder then the original?

Do you guys think the dealer would give us credit value on stock muffler in exchange for their Stillen muffler exhaust system, since the dealer deals with Stillen product? Of course we would have to pay the difference if there is any..

does anybody know where the post is about the new part number for the newer muffler that was produced after Feb. I can't find the thread
Does anybody know the part number.

This is the only thing that I HATE about my Infiniti dealer so far. If they don't hear any problem they don't bother to look into it at all, they just assume I'm hearing things. On both of my first oil changes I mentioned a clicking noise. Of course it didn't present itself at the service time. The 2nd time I even said there was a TSB that had a procedure for it but because they didn't hear in then and there they didn't bother to look at the TSB and perform it. So I guess I have to wait till something explodes on the car before they will do anything about it.
