New Exhaust "DING"

SouthArk370Z · 08-11-2018, 07:44 AM

Is it making the same ding when cooling down? If so, I'd start snugging up flange bolts, clamps, etc.

It is making the same sound on cool down. All bolts/hardware/gaskets are good--thank you for the suggestion.

I listened to it for several minutes when I got home today and it sounds like something in one of the muffler cans. I called the shop that installed it and they're going to look at it Monday morning. I'll report back with the findings.

Figured I'd post an update even though there's not much to report. The shop spent 3 hours trying to locate the "ding" and isolated it to the intermediate pipe. They reinforced every single weld on the damn pipe and also on the axle-backs. Nothing changed.

My next stop to is contact Z1 and see what they say about a return/refund/exhange.
