Tinging sound on acceleration

[nycxice13]

I get a tinging sound when I accelarate slowly, then its gone, been doing it for 3-4 days. Any ideas of waht it might be? 98 Pathfinder

If the noise is coming from the rear, it may be the muffler that is just below the l.r. door. The baffles inside tend to come loose and create noise. If not, be a little more specific about where the noise is(ie:left,right,front,rear).

It sounds like the muffler area, Im gonna have to check if its loose now.

Could it have been cause by taking a hit in a bad NYC pothole?

cracked exhaust pipe?

some of those mufflers got a extended warrany by nissan. Call your local dealer and have them run your VIN and ask them if its covered.

Nope, already know that been replaced about 3 times since the dealers warranty has run out. Its more then likely not the muffler though. If it is, Im going for a flowmaster or something, I want a bit of a sound.
