Hey guys,
I took my car to Infiniti for the exhaust rattle. The mechanic admitted to hearing the rattle, and the service advisor called the regional rep with Infiniti, and he is AWARE of the rattle, but said there is no bulletin or posted fix for it. I told her that a number of you guys from the forum have already had your exhausts replaced. She said that there is no bulletin, and therefore no part # with a "fixed" exhaust. She said at this point, they could order me a new exhaust, but to her knowledge, it would have the same rattle.
Would it be possible for any of you guys who had your exhaust replaced to ask the dealership what part # they ordered so I can have them order that as well.
Cheers!

muffler and gasket part #'s
Here are the part #'s that were on my invoice after the muffler replacement.
Gasket - Exhaust: 20692-1E810
Muffler Assy Exhaust: 20100 - JL01A
Maybe if you got an "updated" exhaust or muffler it will be something else.

muffler replacment
I got my muffler replaced for the 2nd time today. The rattle is gone for now. Unlike what someone else said the muffler is the same as the one that came off of my car originally- there was no "updated" muffler as per my dealer. So now I guess we will have to see how this replacement holds up. I fully expect that the rattle will return in the near future.
If you have an early build, there is a new muffler.
Just had mine done for the 3rd time.
New muffler sounds different, no rattle sound at all.

Mike would you mind checking your part # on your invoice if you still have it and tell us what it is? I just wanted to see if you had the same as me and to check the part # on the new muffler to compare. I posted my part # on post #50. Thanks.

Nope. They just noted that I had them. The Service Advisor said that it might be a possibility that the HFCs exacerbated the problem but they didn't give any resistance to replacing the muffler because the muffler issues were so well documented otherwise and I had the issue even prior to getting the HFCs.
