I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

The rattling is probley caused by hitting the exhaust. Mine use to do that when putting it into reverse. Occassionally still does, but not as bad, as I rehung the exhaust, which the shop forgot to do. :roll:

ya it is probaly hittin your exhaust, jack up your car and have some one put it in fifth gear and see if it hits, and if it is that could be why it feels loose
