Don't know if it's exhaust related or ??, but it sounds "cheap" and like something is loose and rattling. Drives me nuts.

Of course, this goes away with windows up or more speed, but as soon as I roll back into town on narrow streets with the windows back down, I notice it again. Ugh.

I'm fortunate to live in Germany only 1-click from miles of unrestricted autobahn so I can't wait to drive the red beast for real!
I just noticed this same clattering sound on part throttle between 1,600 and 2,100 revs or so. Did your sound get diagnosed or is it normal? I used to only notice it with the windows down driving past walls, but can now hear it sometimes with the windows up and radio off.
