Default Exhaust problem

Hey guys. I put my slp's on in July this past summer. I love them, but over the past month or so something's been rattling pretty bad. I've tried loosening and readjusting the exhaust a couple of times, but that doesn't work. It doesn't rattle while at idle, and it usually does it while excellerating in 1st or 2nd, but not so much from 3rd gear up. Any ideas on what it could be? Oh... and the driver's seat squeaks whenever I move. I still have the warranty... are seats covered??? Thanks.

The first place I would check on the Loudmouths would be the hanger closest to the rear bumper. If you have the tips back too far the hanger will hit the bumper causing it to rattle. You can either take them off and grind down the tip of the hanger or just loosen the tips up and push them in about 1/2" and it should stop the rattling. If it doesn't, you just have to start tightening all of your clamps as much as you can. For the seat, you should be covered on the warranty, just take it in and tell them what's going on. They will probably try to blame it on your aftermarket exhaust...



Just kidding.

Could it have the flowmaster syndrome?

It sounds like metal hitting, so I'm going to check out the hangar this weekend when I go home. Sounds like that might be it. Thanks
