hating my M.....

xJxDx0926 · 05-22-2010, 12:59 PM

Not to be a douche bag but if you do sell it and have after market parts I'm like 10 minutes away from you

AtoB · 05-22-2010, 03:52 PM

sure... no problem.... i'll be selling my remus exhaust and possibly the 19" V710's...

AtoB · 05-24-2010, 07:57 AM

i had three neighbors comment on the sound coming from the car saturday...THREE! it was 75 degrees out yesterday... i drove my jeep instead... it has made the car totally embarrasing and unenjoyable to drive.

Through some odd paradox, my M sounds and runs fine, but my Jeep doesn't. I think it's missing an exhaust hanger so the line hits rattles on a crossbar underneath.

What are your next steps now? Find an Indie shop or another dealer?

I think thats a Jeep thing, I just had to do the same fix yesterday for my Jeep. It was making a lot of noise lately and I had no clue what it was until i saw it being driven and how loose the pipe was moving around

Did you just add an exhaust hanger? I had a new muffler put in a few months back and this issue just seemed to gradually keep up. The pipes were not redone, just the muffler. Since the new tail pipe is a little larger diameter than the previous one, I know the rear hanger isn't as "under" the tailpipe as it was with the previous muffler. However, I think the knocking is coming from just ahead of the input to the cat where there is a crossbar as part of the vehicle frame. I don't see why its just doing this now, though. I was tempted to cheap out and just get some high temp RTV to use as a damper/gap pad between the two until I get a chance to get under there and really look at it.

mine is definitely not an exhaust issue.... sound is coming from the valves.

MHeavNC · 08-24-2010, 02:38 AM

I think that it is in the engine... It sounds terrible and I understand why you don't want to drive it.. Did you ever find out what the problem was?

MHeavNC · 08-24-2010, 02:55 AM

After some searching I found that you have solved your problem.. Glad to see that everything is back to normal.. I was feeling your pain reading this thread...

Can we please stop replying to this thread and make it disappear. The dude had a bad experience with his car, he got rid of it, and isn't around any more. This is like the ex wife constantly calling or something. Let's drop it.

Hawkeye · 08-26-2010, 11:05 AM

He did find the problem, and they just linked that. Plus, you yourself are exaserbating (sp?) the problem by posting in here as well.

crfine88 · 08-26-2010, 11:14 AM

Yeah, quit adding replies to this thread guys
