First problem - I have a Flowmaster exhaust and there is a rattle at certain rpm's. I had it at the dealership to be serviced and told them I thought a weld came undone because I was hearing this rattle. They looked into it and said something was loose in the passenger side muffler and I would need to get a new system to resolve this. Is there anyway to take care of this without spending a bunch of money?

Second problem - My brakes are squeaking loudly. I have tried everything (new pads ceramic and regular, new rotors) I let them get worn in and it is still really loud. I have taken my wheels off several time trying to figure this out, but can't find the problem. I am to the point now where I never drive with my windows down because I hate the sound. Any ideas?

So between the two of these my car sounds awful. I used to love the sound of the car and cruising with my windows down, but now I am just embarrassed and annoyed with it. Please help! Thank you!

Try removing the tunnel cross brace, dog bone shaped thing with 4 nuts. If that solves it, the exhaust needs to be raised a bit. Not hard to do.

Thank you Jonny! The thing is when I tap on the passenger side muffler I can hear the rattle. Sounds like it is inside the muffler. Like something broke loose in there. Have you ever heard of this?

Yes, baffles have been know to break loose inside of flowmasters...

You can only replace the muffler... Unless you have a weld shop.

Flowmaster warranty? They will only replace the muffler, no labor.

I think they are too big to shake out.

Thank you! That must be what it is. Man, it is annoying!

Just the muffler can be replaced. No need to do the whole system.

As for ur second problem do a brake bed in procedure. Dont let them wear in, u must break them in.
