95 GLE Rattling Noise - Exhaust???
My 95 Max GLE has original exhaust system at 147,000 miles. The muffler is
very rusted on the outside and needs to be replaced soon. When the car is
started cold (summer) I hear a raspy rattling sound that goes away in a
couple of minutes after things warm up. I'm guessing that the noise is
exhaust system related. Heat shields? or something? What parts of the
exhaust system tend to fail first?
I plan to keep car for a long time, should I replace the entire exhaust
system or just the muffler. Should I use Nissan parts or go after market?

Well the exhaust on my 97SE is still ok, but my Mazda had a similar
problem. I pulled the catalytic converter and found some loose heat shields
and broken brackets, as well as a small hole in the cat body. The fix was
removing a heat shield and rewelding the hole shut.
So my point is: a good cheap muffler shop may be able to fix it quick
and easy, and not compromise its function. If the components need replaced
though, OEM parts might kill you on cost. Aftermarket will also be fine and
be much cheaper, as long as you don't get a fartcan put on.

I have a 93 GXE 157k miles, original exhaust. Had an exhaust rattle
about a year ago. It turned ot to be the heat shield above the cat
converter. Removing the broken heat shield fixed the problem.
