Does anyone else have this issue, the pin on top of the valve rattles like crazy on idle and my indie shop says its pretty common on the butterfly valves.

When I brought the car it didn't make the noise. But once I drove the car home from northern jersey it started making the loud lose exhaust noise.Weird as it sound it just stopped after 1week. My dealer told me give it a week the car haven't been driven In 3weeks. Do you drive the car often?

I have no clue then. We seem to have the same package. Do you have warranty?

You should bring it in to get there opinion and if they replace you muffler. I'm gonna start saving for a RPI exhaust
