Muffler Delete causing interior rattling?

AMT92 · 01-08-2010, 12:19 PM

It seems that ever since I got my md done my rear seat area makes rattling and creeking sounds. Could the drone of the muffler delete really start causing rattling issues? If I take it to bmw can they fix my rattling? I also have that door rattling issue which I believe is caused by dry door seals but the dealership refuses to fix it cuz they blame it on my window trim vinyl.

the muffler delete is most likely the problem, if you bring it to the dealer they are just going to tell you that you will have to put it back to stock so they can properly diagnose it.

yep mine does something similar..its not bad at all but it is noticeable..and it wasnt like that before the muffler delete.

I had that problem with my catless exhaust system. It got worse and worse and eventually it seemed like the whole dash was coming loose it was rattling so much. Needless to say, I went back to stock. You can only stuff so many cloths in your cabin.

i wouldn't say its entire the muffler deletes fault because cars age , juts with the extra vibration you can hear things move that normally wouldn't, i put my muffler back on temporary because my head was starting to rattle too with straight pipes and the AFE intake lol
