Re: Rattling sound from the exhuast
X2 on the converter guts flapping around.... or rust flakes build up in mufflers breaking loose and flapping around. How many miles on it? That will help determine the most probable solution.

What exactly does 'engine is rough' even mean? If your cat went bad you'd mostly hear it at idle and more of a metallic sound. Drive up the car on the ramps and see where the sound is coming from.

Re: Rattling sound from the exhuast
MrMiata was not being an a** here, he was referring to an old thread that contained the following text describing the resolution to an issue that took the dealer months to fix :
Well, I guess I should change the title of this Thread:
If you store your car for the winter, this could happen to you.
I just heard from Kevin (the technician working on my car) and he finally found the problem.
It turns out, the muffler was packed full of DOG FOOD!!
It seems that a mouse or mice took up residence in our garage and found the muffler of the Crossfire an excellent place to call home.
So if you store your car for winter, ya may want to "PLUG" those giant exhaust tips, because they must look like the Grand Entrance to an expensive "German" Spa and Resort.
Now my next question, Does anybody have a "STOCK" Crossfire muffler they want to sell. I'm perfectly happy with the way the Crossfire sounds from the factory, so I really don't want to go aftermarket.
One more thing, If you live anywhere within a 200 mile radius of Klaben Chrysler in Kent Ohio, and you need something repaired on your Crossfire, I don't think that you would be able to find a more dedicated, or expert technician than Kevin.
