exhaust suddenly got some bad ass rattling

**charliebrown** · 10-03-2011 10:59 PM

was fine until today when it just started rattling hard. it doesnt rattle when i'm stationary or accelerating hard. moving and not giving gas, or not giving hard gas will rattle really loud. i cant pinpoint where the sounds coming from. muffler is on tight as it does not move when i shake with my hand. i've got an axleback

none of this "use the search function" shit please...

thanks for any help

Have you tried to maybe.... jack your car up and take a look?

**charliebrown** · 10-03-2011 11:10 PM

yes ive had a look, nothing looks wrong

exhaust rubber mounts? worse could be collapsed resonator, or cat leaving fragments loosely floating in there....

Use search function next time,

common probs are,
cat
resonator.

search them up, and they will even teach you how to diagonse to find where the rattle is.

Good luck,

the search function on ozhonda is not exactly the best thing ever made...

ill check the rubber mounts tomorrow. should i bolt on stock muffler and see if rattling still continues? can then see if its the cat or resi and not the muffler

Theres also google, lol.

Just use a screwdrive, and hammer, and slightly beat the reso and cat, hear if they move inside - if they do, then it needs replacing. Most probs the reso, if its that, just go exhaust shop and tell them to put a straight through pipe. 50bux.

More power and you'll get a sporty note to it aswell.

Not front bumper, were talking about your exhaust, the resonator. Google it to see where it is.

The way your saying it that it'll give you +100DB more or something, it'll make it max 5/6db louder, sounds good too. also illegal
