I don't think its unanimous.

You should check one more thing, however, before you start spending money.

The muffler has a bracket that mounts to the rear of the transmission.
On my car, the three bolts that support the bracket and muffler are all broken.
When the engine is at the right rpms, these bolts start to rattle, and make one heck of a racket. This rpm point is usually a fast idle speed, so right around 1k rpms.

Take a look.
