The new Nissan dealership said I should have them do a fule system cleaning to remove carbon buildup. I currently have 57k but remember my car has done this since 30k when I bought it.
Post a video so we can hear what your grind sounds like.

From your description, its nothing like the sound of mine. The grind that came from my Z was almost as if a stick was stick under the car and dragging. I believe it was part of the heat shield on the cats or another piece under the car that the metal was bent slightly and vibrating at certain frequencies..

Go buy a bottle of seafoam from WALMART. Watch my DIY, and try that out.

Why did you 27k miles to do something about it?
