Lil Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hello guys, It's been a while now that there is a terrible rattling noise coming from my middle/end box silencer at 2000 rpm. What I should do? I'm currently on HKS Silence HiPower exhaust, with 3" whifbitz Decat Pipes, I cannot find anywhere just the specific silencer online, shall I buy a 3" universal one and weld it on? or visit an exhaust garage and let them deal with it? do you know any garage around Yorkshire that won't charge me a fortune? Thanks in Advance Manos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom86 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 May just be the heat shield. Get it up on a ramp and have a look. Shouldn't be much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I thought the same mate, It's not the heat shield :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you can hear a rattle above that racket, that is a serious rattle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Look for areas where stones could be sitting. I once found one rattling ontop of a bracket. Was glad it was that simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Have a look down the tail pipe and see if you can see if the internal baffle has collapsed, if it hasn't then you could get the back box cut open, repacked and welded up again. Alternatively cut the silencer off and get a new one welded in it's place, the stainless steel Jetex silencers are good quality https://www.jetex.co.uk/jetexstore/index.php?_a=product&product_id=214 For jobs like this your best bet would be to find yourself a tame welder, my guy is semi-retired and will do this sort of thing for beer money Edited April 7, 2015 by Nic (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
