[s-cars] ping vs. rattle

[Tom Green]

I believe he said Strømung, eliminating some heat shields, and that he  
recognizes common rattles are different from engine noise.
Regardless, accepting the assumption that it is a rattle means no  
problem, just keep driving, when I suggest taking a look is the  
prudent course, even if
you start with looking for an exhaust rattle.  All here will be most  
pleased if he finds that is the problem.
