Ever since I got my exhaust put on, it began. Creeking. From everwhere. My dash, my doors, my back passenger panels (2-door), uhm, name it, it creeks. Its almost as bad a ride as my friends 93 Mustang that is like 1.5" from the ground. What in the world happened? Did this happen to anyone else? Do I have to get new struts and dynamat everything? When I first bought my car it was pure luxury, and now I have to crank up my music or else I just get angry. Gahhh. At least I'm off work.

My door panels use to crank, i change 3 or 4 of the plastic clips and it stopped, anyway i remember a post or something somewhere in this page where someone explained how to "repair" parts from making noise, hope anybody remember where it is, maybe in upgrades.

I think you guys mean "CREAKING" Just a spelling fix, sorry, when I first seen the thread, I pictured a GP in a CREEK! Sorry, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to spelling.

Later now,
Clint  I have creakage as well. I have a theory that the loud vibrato (oooOOooo, new word :p ) of some mufflers causes some things in the car to loose their holdings and come loose. At least, its a theory, not a proven thing. In theory to that theory, I guess that maybe the bass in the audio system could do the same?

Yes, my car was totally silent when I bought it. About a week after I installed 2 10" subs, EVERYTHING started rattling. I can't even go over the little cracks in the road now without hearing something rattle, creak, or make some type of annoying sound. Makes me really regret putting the subs in.
