Well, i was one of the first to have the dealership order a new OEM exhaust from Japan when my G37 exhaust broke and gave the infamous rattling sound.
The exhaust took 3 weeks to come in, which is 3 weeks of annoying chainsaw rattling from the exhaust. Anyways, it was fixed and the problem was solved.

2 months later

To my beloved ears, i start the car today and what do you know......the chainsaw is back...Looks like I'll be getting another new exhaust.

 

i say... just go after market

 

no doubt...but one more faulty exhaust and i may be able to lemon it.

 

over something that small? wouldnt that be nice to get a brand new car...

 

hey maannn, SAME boat... i just made a similar post in some thread the other day... sayin i was prolly one of the first if not THE first to get a new muffler cuz of the baffles goin bad... and guess what... goin to the dealership tomorrow for SAME problem just a few months later


thinkin like u about aftermarket and lemon law too =p

Let's see what happens... they kept my car for two days last time cuz it took em that long to have the part shipped here. So tomorrow they just wanna hear the noise, and THEN order the part so i'm not w/o my car for too long.
I'll prolly go back for the new muffler and get my 15K service next week.

Keep us posted, and i will too. (Wonder if they can ship the optional axle back, or mufflers that the 370GT gets over there in japan, and install that instead.... hmm, prolly not cuz not emissions tested for the states)

 

Me to, second muffler.
waiting for infiiniti regional rep to get involved with a solution.
keep you guys posted.

 

make them fix it.. Even if you are getting an aftermarket exhaust still get a 100% working OEM exhaust

 

yup^^

i wonder if it has anything to do with driving style.

i like to let her loose every now and then... well, alot actually
and use paddles alot for the corners or DS mode... also when the time and location is right, i cruise controll at 90 alot....

anyone out there with opposite driving habbits of mine, and still having this issue?

 

if it has anything to do with the driving style than thats no excuse. I should be able to drive it like its stolen all the time if i want to, w.o some exhaust breaking.

 

^^ yea, for sure... just wondering tho... cuz then it wd suck even more

my thought exactly tho... it shd be able to handle it. just curious

 

+1.. Definitely not a good excuse.. Especially on a 2008...

 

gonna bring it in tomo for the first time!!
been rattling for a while!

 

what is this rattling issue...when i start my car the exhaust is a bit louder but quiets down when it's warmed up....can anyone explain further? i'm not sure if i have it or not??

 

do u hear a tincan noise? all cars sound louder when u just first start it. if u do hear the tin can sound, then it is the exhaust

 

damn why so many issues? wonder is mine was broken too? dont think so but damn. its how you drive lol!! im calling dealership and telling them u drive to hard and not to warranty anything u own. you just want to lemon it an get the new BMW dont you? lol jk jk
