There's a clamp that holds the exhaust to the car that has come loose on me a few times and makes a rattle noise. I've hit it going over speed bumps a few times and that makes it come loose.

My engine was subject to the recall. I'm currently at 180k on original valve springs and have had no issues. I'd rather run the risk of it maybe happening versus having some 9-5'er open up my engine.
