Default 94 GSR gets a mettalic rattle at 3500 RPM, anyone else have the same problem

I recently got a 1994 Integra GS-R, it's really sweet but in every gear at around 3100 to 3600 RPMs it makes the worst mettalic rattle sound. I was wondering if anyone else had this same thing. I got it checked by Honda and they said it was fine to have the noise but i just want to know if it happens to any else

Maybe its your shifter hitting the exhaust or the heat shield rattling?

If you have stock headers it is your A pipe.

Very very very common problem. It is either your header or heat shields.

If the A pipe was replaced already, check your heat shields.

it dosen't harm anything but your ears. Check out the heatshield or just get a friend and a rag...have him rev the engine and you take the rag and hold it against various parts of the exhaust and see if that fixes the noise.

"...in every gear at around 3100 to 3600 RPMs it makes the worst mettalic rattle sound."

That happened to me before at exactly 3500rpm. It was the A-pipe. Depending on your milage, your warranty should still cover it.. even though you have some mods. Acura hooked me up and saved me $400+... those koo bastards! :thumbup:
