The rattle eludes me...

The rattle eludes me...
...well, the dealer actually. I have this super annoying rattle underneath the center console at low speeds its really noticable, sounds like underneath the car.
So I finally have time to get my car into the dealer...but the temps got up to around 40 degrees or so (been single digits to twenties lately)....and the freakin' rattle disappeared. The dealer said they weren't able to replicate the noise and they checked over things and couldn't find anything.....
.....so fast forward to the next day, it dipped below freezing...and the rattle reappeared. It's my arch nemesis...I vow to defeat it one day.
But on the plus side, I ordered l-tuned sides, UGO duck spoiler, and UGO roof spoiler Now just looking for the proper rear to compliment.

grrr....well, rattle is still there...whether warm or cold weather....but there's something interesting. When I free rev the car (park/neutral) it makes the rattling and seems to be coming from underneath the car around the rear seat area....so I think I can rule out the suspension. Could the exhaust be rattling against something???

I don't know if yours is the exhaust but I just wanted to say that it is possible.

Tran, I think I'm beginning to experience the same problem as you.. it definetly seems exhaust related.
It's either a low buzz or shimmer sound I just can't describe. Is yours similar?
On a side note, and not to jack your thread Tran ...
I'm kinda glad I got rid of my Greddy.. It's becoming a bit too popular.

Hmmmm, searched through the forums again...happened upon this thread
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ht=rear+rattle
So I looked underneath my car this afternoon (after installing my UGO duck spoiler )...and found this alledged "bar" right about where I hear the noise is coming from. Seems like my exhaust is resting right on top of this bar..maybe like a 1mm away from it. I took it off for now to see if the noise is still there...but I have a feeling that was my rattle.
Anyways, what's the function of this bar? Just to keep the exhaust from falling in case the rubber hangers fail??? I would like to put it back in...but I gotta find a way to keep the exhaust from rattling and making noise...maybe wrap the bar with something???
