Performance Exhaust Valve squeak
Anyone dealt with a squeaky exhaust valve on the PE?
Squeaks any time it moves, upon startup and while driving with valve 'open' or PE on to the point it draws attention from bystanders when driven. Doesn't make any noise if not on/valve not opening.
It appears I would have to drop the exhaust to get to the actuators to get a better look, but may still be tough to say.
I have an appointment at dealer in 3 weeks (soonest I can get in, and 245 miles away) and im at 49500 miles... wondering if its worth not driving it for a few weeks to have the issue checked under warranty, or if its a common problem with an easy fix.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Did they end up fixing it? Do your remember what the issue was?
I'm getting this metallic squeak on my amg when pe is enabled. Even on engine start.
