Muffler/exhaust rattling noise troubleshooting

Tags: #exhaust · #rattle · #heat-shield

Rattling noise from the right side of the exhaust/muffler area has two documented checkpoints: (1) the thermal shield — check for loose mounting or contact with the body; (2) the exhaust pipe connection points where the tube meets the body — check for gaps or lost dampeners¹². Fixes: bend/reposition the thermal shield so it clears the body, and secure any loose pipe connections with additional fasteners³.
