ok, i have changed my exhaust to the 5zigen cat-back exhaust lately. and i have found that when my car sit still when the engine running, i can hear a rattle sound underneath there. and so i look underneathe the car, and i can see the whole pipe from the cat. converter to the mid. section of the pipe is shaking. i like what the.... any idea why it's happen? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> another thing that bother me alot is when i drive to a freeway. i can feel the steering wheel is lock up to the right side, i don't know why, maybe i have to do the alignment soon. and i can hear the click sound when the car is going for around 65mph. it's sounds like some metal parts hitting each other, and it came out of the driver side. i don't know what went wrong. but everytime i drive in the freeway around 65mph, the steering wheel feels lock up and lost some control when the car hit the grap on the road.
can someone tell me what's going on with my car? appreciate of any help. thanks

I have a 93 coupe that has had an exhaust rattle for some time now. &nbsp;The cause of my rattle is the heat shield over the cat. &nbsp;The shield had rusted around several of the bolts causing it to resonate at certain rpms.

Can't explain your other probs.

The heat sheild on my 240 had a major rattle and not very appealing when at idle. &nbsp;I just took mine off.

did you check that pinch rail right above where the muffler is? i have a 5Z and that's where my rattle came from. to remedy the problem just get a piece of fuel line, slice length-wise, and glue to the rail. rattle gone, all better.

check and see if they put all the exhaust hooks in the hangers. if they did and its still rattling and its not a heatshield rattle replace the rubber hangers.
