Robby1870 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 what the hell is that rattle/grind sound?!?!? Quote
stockgp Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 sounds like it's leaking somewhere before the muffler Quote
Stealth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 thats what im asking what the hell is that sound, we already brought it back twice, and the garage said theres nothing wrong with it, also what the hell is it spitting out its clear and has no smell but why would there be water in it?

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Its normal for water to come out the exhaust. I've always had a fair bit come out from both my 88 and my 95.. must be the gas or something. Quote
Stealth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 hey you finished your 95? you retired the 88? Quote
Robby1870 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 H2O is a product of a combustion reaction. Quote
gp90se Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 oooo lemme guess, dynomax muffler? both mine did that for a while and frankly, I liked it, gave it a different noise. You will have to change mufflers to get a different sound, but you can try getting the mufflers hot (driving around for 45 minutes or so) and spray inside the muffler with ice cold water, pull a glasspack kinda thing and will change the sound Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 I got an 89 Regal GS With the factory muffler and no cat, and it sounds sort of like that, but only when it's cold. When it warms up, it sound a bit better. But i got to change my muffler cuz it's got 376000 kms on it. It sound cool at idle though. Quote
Stealth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 its a canadian tire, factory oem exaust and yes it does get better after it heats up but, as you can hear I was laughing, it spretty odd sounding Quote
skiiirt Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 no offence but you get what you pay for. Personally I'd ask around and find someone who is good at what they do, not a hardware store Quote
gp90se Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 go out and buy either a magnaflow muffler, or a walker if u want quiet, and have them put it on. it sounds like backpressure in the muffler, and since that has 2 be a turbo muffler (no baffles) it shakes everything. my vote is buy a magnaflow, make them put it on and be done with it, Quote
White93z34 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 there are lots of companys that make "oem" parts, whick loosely translates to some companies making shoddy "oem replacement parts" which flat out suck, body pannels are a prime example of that and i'm more then sure it falls into the muffler world too Quote
Carotop Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Wouldn't that rattle be from not having it connected properly or somethin is loose? Quote
Stealth Posted September 21, 2004 Author Report Posted September 21, 2004 well my uncel owns his own garage, and hes th eone that said to take it back cause it was really loose, but they said it wasnt Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 its a canadian tire, factory oem exaust and yes it does get better after it heats up but, as you can hear I was laughing, it spretty odd sounding FACTORY exhuast? That is is no factory exhuast. Way too loud to be the stock exhuast setup. My 3.1 was almost silent with the factory exhaust when I first bought it. Quote
Stealth Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Posted September 22, 2004 I mean like aftermarket oem replacement Quote
Carotop Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Alright off topic here but if I wanna go to a 3 in. exhaust how would I keep the noise a very good minimum not total quiet but enough so you can't tell its aftermarket Quote

91GPSTE Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Drill a 1/8" hole in the muffler for the water to drain out in the lowest spot on the muffler. Then start it up and let it run till all the water runs out and look under the car at all the spots where the exhaust is connected and see if it's leaking. Usually you will see smoke coming out and sometimes there would even be drops of water. Another thing is pop the hood and shine a flashlight behind the motor where cat connects to manifold. Most likely they screwed up the donut gasket that sits there and now it is leaking. Or worse the 2 bolts and springs that hold the cat in place rusted away and that spot started leaking. Quote
phatkat64 Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Have your cat checked. It sounds like the catalyst brick is rattling loose in there. Quote
