Hello,

 

There are no recalls or service bullitens on this issue but we have come across a few making this noise and it's usually either the rear strut mount cushion or the exaust pipe like you mentioned. I would advise having an exaust shop, like Midas, take a look at it for you. Most dont charge just for an inspection. If you can try to get a couple of different estimates just to be on the safe side.

 

Best of luck my friend, Happy Hollidays and thanks for asking!
