  • y-pipe rattle fixed easily.. finally! (for free too)

    I've had a rattle in my y-pipe for months, i took it to the dealership and they said I had to pay 600 bucks for a new y-pipe! hah!

    So I go down to meinieke yesterday to have my bullet muffler welded on my I-pipe before my spintech.. and he heard the rattle when he was driving my car onto the lift.

    He mentioned that the y-pipe is double walled, I told him I knew that, and knew that the inner pipe was most likely loose and they wanted me to buy a new pipe.. he torched 3 holes along the y-pipe, and tac welded them. Ive heard of some one else doing this on another board, so thought it was worth a try. It fixed it like a charm, and he didnt charge me for it.

    For the few people with the same problem as me on this board, look into having the same procedure done.
