Default DOES YOUR GT DO THIS???

I have an 07 GT with about 600 miles on it. On my way home from work this morning, I jumped on the express way and decided to stretch her legs for the first time. Got her up to 125mph (rather quickly Imust say) and then got off at the next exit just a second or two later.

I then noticed a loud, rattling noise coming from the rear-end of my car . I'm pretty sure it was the exhaust. It soundedso badI thoughtsomething was about to fall off . I jumped out and checked under the car, however didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Aftera fewminutes, I jumped back in and took off again. Thenoise was gone .

Was that normal? What the heck was it? Will it happen again?

Never had that happen. Ran mine up to 110 on the beltway once in the early AM. Never heard any strange noise coming from the rear of the car. Has it done it since?

only noise I ever heard on mine turned out to be a loose shock rattling in the right rear.

Mine had a loose exhaust clamp, of course that went away when I installed the Corsa's.....

Mine does the same thing. I think its a loose exhaust hanger. I havent pin pointed which one it is yet but im pretty sure its the passenger side mid-pipe hanger. Theres a TBS on that one. All the do is put a screw on type hose clamp around the whole thing. If I have time I'll do it later today a post results for you.
