Ok I got a new one: I'm hearing a faint to loud tapping sound when in drive and giving it gas. The more I push on the pedal, the louder it gets. I took it to the dealer yesterday and they told me one of two things. 1) leaking exhaust manifold 2) bad catalytic converter
They also told me that a leaking exhaust manifold would be noticeable while in park or neutral (which I don't hear) and they are leaning towards replacing the cat converter. This item is not covered under the power train warranty and costs $1300 from the dealer!
I also spoke to a couple of guys at Auto zone and they feel it is something in my drive-line since I'm only hearing this tapping in drive.
Just trying to get other opinions or maybe this has happened to any other 3's?
