To Loki and Somyunguy, sorry to hear about you cars.

Me too.
When I put the car in reverse and let out the clutch when reversing up a slight incline and am not giving quite enough gas, it sometimes makes a loud grating vibrating sound that seems to be coming from the exhaust. Also, when I am driving at highway speeds I get a slight buzzing sound that seems to stop after I put in the clutch. At first I thought it might be that the performated plastic piece that has the rear reflectors (05 cars) was rubbing against the back of the clam, but I put a piece of foam in between to stop any rattles, but it still makes the buzzing noise. Howver the buzzing is much quieter less gritty sound than the reversing sound.
I only went on one autocross in the rain, and drove hard on a road that was in a closed off community where houses havent been built yet, and did about 10 laps around the road course at Homestead taking it fairly easy. I doubt this was enough to loosen anything up.
To check the exhaust do you just take off the rear undertray, or do you have to take off the whole rear section with the license plate holder, relectors, etc to get to it?
