[DML] Re: Annoying rattling sound, help!

["Nathan Sobieralski" <valleyrat12@xxxxxxxxx>]

Found it!!

A loose bolt on the cross over pipe heat shield was the culprit. I 
tried tightening it down but it broke off :( Oh well. The sound is 
now gone.  If anyone is having the same noise problem Ill bet it is 
the crossover pipe.
