  • possible bulletin for exhaust?

    recently had my 10day old g6 (2008 4cyl sedan) in the shop for a strange moaning sound coming from the car. I only heard it when i immediately accelerated or when going at a low speed with a high rpm.
    turns out it was some sort of vibration coming from the exhaust system. My dealer told me it had been a problem for some of the 6cyl. but not on a 4cyl.
    they added a hanger and resonator(s) ?
    just curious if any of you guys have experienced this too?

    Uhh, I think he was wrong.

    Aside from a crap paint job, I haven't had any issues with my car.

            That looks like it came out a long time ago. My car was made in May 2008, so maybe that's why I'm just now hearing about it. I assume that means my car is safe.

                    My car (08 GT Convertible) had a whistle during the same type of acceleration. Dealer said this is typical, but only on the convertibles. It was replaced under warranty

                      My '07 convertible had the same problem. They replaced the resonator under warranty a year and half ago. No problems since.

                        Ya mine had it and it was the resonator. Well that's what the dealer told me. So I got rid of it and havnt had the problem ever since.

                        Not much left without dumping a few grand so I guess ill be redoing the stock sound system with polk audio everything.
