Lexus of Cerritos. They are the worst service department in SoCal by far.

Okay im pretty sure mine is coming from passenger dash and air vent. I have an ark exhaust, and can really notice rattle after installing it. Are they still going to honor their warranty?

So they got it fixed and it was covered by Lexus. What they did not fix it was install some extra insulation in the window switch.

They should, there shouldn't be any reason why it should rattle just because of the exhaust. I am wondering if the vent is just loose.

However, stillhave random rattling from car vent when the car is silent.

Let me know how they replicate it and fix it because Ive been going to Putnam Lexus and it is getting annoying coming every time to try to resolve stuff.

Default Found solution

Found out why my car was rattling and it was because of something stupid. Coins inside the center box!

I think my arc exhaust does have a lot to do with it too. Every time i hit 2k rpm with my exhaust on i can make the car rattle.

I believe the reason this is, is because of the welded unibody construction of the car.

Even if i had a water bottle in the cup holder it would rattle like crazy. Even though the coins and water bottle were in the middle of the car my ears were playing freaking games with me and i would think it was coming from the dash.

I dont think the coins and water bottle would rattle as much(at all) if i didnt have exhaust but i cant test it now.

Anyways glad i found out like 1k miles later. It was like having crickets in your car and you could never find em!
