I would check the heat shield above the muffler to make sure all 4 nuts are still there and its not bent before I bring it in to the dealer.

I see a warranty repair in your near future. If they try and charge you too fix it shoot me a PM and if you pay shipping you can have my stock muffler for free.

Mine's got the same thing, did you have to get it fixed yourself, or did they cover it under warranty?

loose baffle internally in the muffler- not repairable. Should be a warranty item....
