OK, so all you guys do have the same issues, that make me feel a bit better Well don't get me started on the interior rattles.... This is primarly about the metal clunk that come from under the car. I think it started happeneing after my catback install, but I can be wrong. If I move it hard enough (very hard) the flange hits my drive shaft. I replaced my rear rubber hangers with poly ones but still happens. Any idea on how to get the exhaust from moving at all?
But sometimes I think that its not that since the sound is comming from under the front of the car and the middle...

I heard of this, and I do have it . What is the fix for this? I really don't want to go to dealers beacause they will need my car for the whole day and I don't have a backup.

Add spacers/washers to the support bar (two bars on the bottom that run across the bottom of the frame, right under the dp) it's touching.

Mine did this too. I ended up taking the center console out and popping out that little tab that catches the arm rest. That fixed it and it doesn't move around without it.

I also have the passenger seat rattle. It is quite annoying. I took the seat completely out and it was gone, I can't find what it is that is making the noise though. My rear window rattles and the metal bars that run through the trunk rattle too. I just need some foam tape to fix that though. Other than the rattles, the car is awesome.

I think a lot of us are having the "rattle" issue here and there, there are probably thousands of reasons a car could rattle, mine have more than a handful, but there is this loud clunk/clung/rattle/metal noise (I can't even describe it in word) but anyway, it happens when I make a left turn or going straight, pressed the clutch or go through wash board type bumps, I thought it may be clutch/tranny, since it happens the most when clutch pressed, but it make no sense it doesn't happen when turning right, after a few months trying to chase it down, the other day, took my impact drive out, tighten the struts mounts screws (the 3 screws that mount to the chasis) it seems much better now, of coursem there are still plenty of other noises to listen to, but this weird loud as* noise is gone now, hopefully, for good, will see.

My car has 3001 miles. I have windshield creak, a *seriously* annoying dash rattle at low-RPM, my passenger Recaro rattles/creaks like mad when no one is in it, and there's a mystery rattle/creak from the back somewhere that I haven't identified.

It drives my wife crazy (other than the passenger seat one, which she never hears), but I just ignore them. I knew the car would be loud, stiff suspension + questionable build quality + little to no sound dampening = loud car. I bought the car to go fast, not to drive around in a sound bubble. =)

These vehicles are not the quietest of cars.... I'd say they are noisy as heck compared to most passenger cars. I've gotten used to most rattles and road noise, so it doesnt bother me too much anymore. But regardless, still check under the car to make sure everything is screwed on tight.
