slight rattle
Saturday, December 10, 2005 1:27 AM
Well I've noticed something about my exhaust and searched up the word rattle in the search forums. didn't really turn out much and I'm kind of in a rut here.

Alright I have a custom catback. 25" glasspack. 14 inch muffler...

I get a little rattling if I make a quick rev and as the revs fall, it rattles a bit.

The muffler is mounted in the OE place and nothing is hung akwardly. and I can't really figure out where the slight rattle is coming from.

Any ideas? or should I just learn to live with it?

check for clearance over the back axle. sometimes when they make custom exhausts they bend it to go over but when the car is set on the ground it doesnt clear enough and may find a spot to touch and make that rattle that your hearing. when i had my cat back made up i had no problems but after i got my header and cat installed ive been having problems with my exhaust sometimes buffing my back axle

check out your converter if its factory it could be rattling and time for a new one or it could just be the heat shield on top that is coming off

nah couldn't be the heatshield. it's the aftermarket one.

Did the shop remove the heat shield from the aftermarket cat? Cause that would be my first guess too.

actually. no they didn't and I just realized this. I'll see what I can do to fix this. I'm getting a header soon to finish off the entire exhaust so we'll see how it goes

it's very very slight but it's just one of those things that people get picky about. header should be on within a month or two so while the thing is hoisted I'll give it a look
