my 97 rs is starting to piss me off. i took it in a few weeks ago and had the muffler brackets tightened, and the rear end (god knows why it was loose.....) tightened as well. that temp fixed the rattle. now, whenever i rev or shift the car, at anything above idle, something in the rear of the car rattles like a bitch, and it's starting to piss me off. any ideas?? thanks

Have a friend rev the car while you look under it. Don't inhale the fumes :evillol:

yeah, i mean could be alot of things, internal baffles rusted out and are rattling around in the muffler, muffler pipe is tapping something, fuel tank heat sheild is rattling, i agree with 88ReX and have a friend rev it to when its making the noise. put on a glove, and press down or grab hold of different parts in the back, when the noise goes away, your touching the part thats loose.
