ok i've had this for awhile, and planning on getting rid of it with in the next 2 weeks. but after the car warms up and i'm driving, i hear a terrible rattle coming from the exh. piping. a couple people that've ridden in my car ask me if i have an exh. leak but i don't.
i've removed a couple of the heat shields in between the piping and the chassis but it's not that. (because it's like a thin metal rattle)
NOW the only conclusion i could come up with is it being the the spings for the seal connections for the exh. piping. can anyone confirm this or even know what i'm talking about?

with in the next couple weeks i'm gonna put my JUN header on and from there i have a guy redoing all of my exh. in 2.5 mandrel bent SS piping all the way back to the cannister.

i know the rattle will be long gone in a week or two and won't have to worry about the annoying rattle, just wanna find out so i know that's all. thanks ahead of time guys

do you have an aftermarket exhaust? if so are all the necessary gaskets installed?

Do you have a aftermarket short shifter?

JUN.R · Post by **JUN.R** » December 15th, 2003, 8:37 pm

nope stock shifter. it's gotta be the clamp springs, i thought it was an exh leak but it's not. and it's definately the piping. i was just wondering if anyone has had the same issues of the rattle

i hate rattleing

i'm thinking of instead of getting the 2.5 mandrel bent SS from front to back i'm going to get the JG race B pipe and leave it

Are you sure that it's coming from your tail end? Thre reason I ask is that I have 90,000 miles on my '00 ITR and my wheel bearings gave in. As I accelerate the rattle became faster and faster, and there was vibration also.

It could be the axle back hitting the control arm...
