Whenever I accelerate my Phaeton 3.6, there's a sound like metal clanking coming from the middle section of the exhaust pipe. I can't seem to fix it. I had it checked, and there's nothing wrong with the exhaust pipe. The dealership mentioned it's a common issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions?

Can anyone share a picture of the mid-section exhaust pipe for a 2015 GT with a 1.5T engine? Thanks!!!
Have any fellow car enthusiasts encountered a situation where the catalytic converter has minor cracks, causing occasional exhaust emissions to go uncatalyzed and triggering the emission warning light? The mechanic mentioned this. I regularly use Carpol's catalytic converter cleaner, Liquid Gold, etc., so there shouldn't be a carbon buildup issue.

5Stainless steel shell thickness: 1.8mm for the four doors, 1.4mm for other parts. I was quite puzzled after watching a video of the actual car this year; it didn't seem to match the 3mm thickness mentioned in 2019. Today, I just saw a video explaining the official version of the sheet metal thickness.
6Hi everyone, I have a 2016 3.6 Grand Cherokee. Recently, after switching to 0-20 oil, I've noticed a "doo-doo" sound coming from the exhaust area inside the car. It's not very noticeable when I get out of the car, seems like some kind of resonance. Also, after the oil change, the engine sounds louder. I've driven 400 km since then and there's no improvement. Any ideas?
7Hey everyone, I've got an issue with my 09 model. Sometimes while driving, there's a sharp "dang dang" sound coming from underneath the car. It comes and goes, and sometimes I can even hear it when idling. The repair shop mentioned it might be the exhaust pipe but then said it doesn't seem like it. They think it might be coming from the bottom of the engine. Have any of you experienced something similar?
8Is it true that you can't talk in the car while navigating? Whenever I mention a location or something else, it messes up the navigation or interrupts with random comments. What should I do? I really regret it!
9I noticed occasional vibrations in my Murano at around 20,000 km, and the vibrations don't last long. When I went to the dealership for maintenance, they mentioned that they could replace the mid-section improvement part with a bracket for free. Has anyone had this replaced? How does it feel after the replacement?
10I went to the Toyota 4S store yesterday to check out this car. The exterior and interior are both acceptable. I'm just a bit concerned about one thing: the particulate filter is located in the middle section of the exhaust, which is a bit far from the engine. Theoretically, since it's a naturally aspirated hybrid engine, the operating temperature is lower and the filter is farther from the engine. Wouldn't the particulate filter be more prone to clogging? What do you experts think about this issue?
