Hey all. I need some help here. My 95 GSR makes this EXTREMELY annoying rattling noise as I am coasting and not accelerating. Seems only to happen in between 1st and 2nd and sometimes 3rd. The noise is comming from under the car but I cant pinpoint it. What could it be? I took it to the Acura Dealer and they looked at it...they found that the muffler was rusted all the way through (right behind it where it connects to the pipe) and that was what the problem was...they were wrong. I took it to a muffler shop where they did the repair and did some welding and still I have the same annoying rattling noise. It has progressed more over the past few days and I have not yet had time to go back to the Acura Dealer. Any help would be apreciated. I have a Greddy SP exhaust on my Teg. I believe it is discontinued now though. Someone said it may be the whole exhaust set up and that I should invest on getting a new system...I dont know though...Thanks for any help.

ok i had the same problem.......do you have a heat shield on your car? it is loose and rattling, it will get progressively worse and according to my ex an acura tech, there isnt a damn thing you can do to fix it except take it off.

of course, you don't want to take the heat shield off where its near your fuel tank. I considered doing that and several people on here reminded me that heat + fuel = possible boom boom. I used those screw-on hose clamps to secure the shields to the pipe. Your cat could be giving a nasty rattle, thats what mine is doing, and its been getting worse.

I also get a "rough bubbling" sound from what I'm assuming is a big hole in my exhaust pipe towards the front. When accelerating its just real loud, but if im coasting, then it'll bubble and lightly pop.

I also also get a wierd wobble/rattle and any speed above 50. I'm 99% sure its the brake rotors.

not having any money kinda puts a damper on fixing car things.
