Well, it rattles for a bit and as I drive more and more, it knocks hard! I noticed yesterday, while I was turning on an on ramp's curve, it was knocking really really hard and I feel it most from the auto shifter areas.

Always happens when it is raining or extremely wet outside.

and this is after getting the GReddy EVO exhaust, too.

for some reason, our exhaust really moves around during the rain/wet season....

Re: Mini Meet For the old man aka john

you guys are using the wrong terms..the exhaust is not knocking..

first off...the exhaust is vibrating due to the water causing your exhaust pipes to expand and contract. this happens when water hits your hot exhaust pipes underneath the car causing it to vibrate against underbody of your car.

it's normal. You just got to get use to this happening once in a while.

Happens the most with the greddy evos. Lowering the exhaust hangers on the greddy will cause you to scrape even more. the pipe on the evo hangs low as is.
