  • Exhaust Rattle?/ New Tips Installed

    when i put the car in reverse, there is a really loud rattle coming from under the car. it sounds like it's near the cat area. when i'm driving i can notice it a little bit too. any ideas? i just put a new catco cat on so i hope its not the cat.

    i also got my new Fasttoys stainless tips installed. i can say for a fact that tips DO change your exhaust sound. before i had on 3.5'' chrome slash tips. they were roughly 18'' long btw. the new sound is no where near as loud and not as deep. it really sounds completely different actually. i don't really like the sound of the new tips that much, but i hope it will grow on me. just thought i'd let you know incase you plan on changing tips.

      hey thanks! i checked the cat and one side of the bottom heat shield was coming off. i got on the ground and pulled at it and one side had come free so i wiggled it and broke the bottom part off. now it seems like the embarrassing rattle is gone. thanks for the advice.
