2013 2SS w/ Dual Mode Rattling sound fix????
1 Attachment(s)
Alright folks I think I finally have something to contribute after all the help everyone here has given me. I was under the car installing my skip shift this afternoon, and I think I found the fix to the high pitched rattle some of us have experiences. The clamp where the exhaust manifold that is even with the transmission has some sort of a clip on it with a round disk wedged into. I tapped the exhaust with a screwdriver and it rattled. I stuck the screwdriver in the tab and got the disc out then hit the tab with a hammer a few times to knock it back to a tight position, then stuck the disc back in. After I got the skip shift installed, I drove it around the block and held it at 1k rpms which is the sweet spot for it to occur, and I never heard it. Hope this helps someone cause that rattle was driving me crazy..... I will know for sure when i get to the parking garage tomorrow. This was on the driver side, but I always heard the noise from what i thought was the passenger side.

interesting. I may check this out whenever I install my skip-shift.

My dual mode rattle was a piece of weld that broke off inside the muffler.
They found it and no more rattle Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2 |

That disc should not have come out. It should be permanently welded into place.
The clip helps align the clamp and keep it in place when aligning the exhaust before tightening the clamp. |

It should be spot welded on. To slide the clamp off you pull the retaining clip up so it will slide back over the disc. Even if your clamp bolts come loose, the clamp will remain where it is, and the exhaust will not fall off the car.

It shouldn't have come off, and if it rattling around in there that is the cause of your problem??
If that clamp ever loosens, the exhaust will drop. The clamp on the other side will help it from coming down all the way. |

When you bent the tab in, it is probably holding the piece it tighter.
It may loosen up and start rattling again. If it starts rattling again I'd take that piece back out and keep it just in case. Good luck. |
I removed that disc and my rattle was gone

Alright, got in the parking garage and not even a hint of a rattle. If your hearing the rattle, its worth the five minutes it takes to check it out.
