Rattle noise rear end

[eomak]

Hi, this has been coverd before but just wanted to get some better advise. I own a 2003 boxster 53,000KM basic and when it warms up to normal operatering temp. it starts to make a rattle tin, viberating nosie in the rear end area.Accerlatering,deccelater,at ilde reving engine its the same noise.Its drives and sound great until it warms up. Its at the dealers now and there trying to find the problem. I have full warrnty from the dealership,but i think the exhuast system is coverd under Porsche warrty for 7 years no?The dealership is a dodge and chrysler dealership.If it does have bad second cats. Porsche warrety pay for the items if found defictive?And dealership warrty well cover labour?And some peeps say it could be the heatshields?

Eomak, I bet it is a bad cat too. Some Forum members have reported to successfuly have these covered by Porsche under warranty. Good luck to you too.

Try searching for some old threads...about 2 months ago.

And why is your Porsche at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership.

I just don't think they will know how to fix it...of even have the proper tools.

Yea my thoughts exalty. I dont think tyhey really want to mess around with it. Before i got the warrty on the car i ask, they said they new how to work on them.The warrnty contract has 38 days left cancelation with good reason and 100% refund.If worse comes to worse. Hopefuly get full refund $5,000 and just buy striaght pipe 2ndary Fabspeed pipes and other upgrades.

I have the same problem on my 2002. The last time I had it serviced I asked them to check out the noise and they said they found nothing. Guess what? It still happens! Is there actually a 7 year warranty on the exhaust/cat?
