My car has a Roush non-active exhaust that I pulled the baffles out of. I made my car substantially louder, not quieter. I did not "miss it" before. I have both, but I'd take the tick all day over the rattle. I've done nothing thus far, but it appears the tick can be mitigated completely on a temporary basis for 24 bucks and 30 seconds in my garage. It has been verified on video tons of times for all to see. The rattle has no known fix other than a new freaking engine, IF you can get Ford to agree to install one for you, taking several months in most cases, and it is likely that the new engine you get, will start to rattle inside 10K miles too.My guess is those who say didn't have the rattle before, just hadn't heard it before, which is different. I thought my car didn't have it too, and when I put the exhaust in quiet, and left the stereo off, BAM! There it was. Ha ha. I only drove like that once, when my wife fell asleep while on a wonderful mountain road, so had to take it easy, and hear the super annoying rattle constantly. Will give it a try to see how loud it is outside when I can open the windows, but at least I cannot hear it at all with either the stereo on, or the exhaust not in quiet mode. And since I almost always do both, I can live with it. Just hope the tick never shows up, or I'd be pissed .
