i have this manifold and when i go over approx. 90mph+ i hear rattling coming from the maifold. Would some exhaust wrap (thermo-tec) fix that rattling or should i put it apart and weld small points all aroung the manifold????


thanks!

 

1.) K20? H22? B18?

2.) describe the rattling and explain to us how you think putting cloth on the metal tubes of the manifold is going to help. Last I checked, a rattle is something rapidly coming into contact with something else due to engine/suspension vibrations. If your primaries are hitting, you need to stop buying turbo kits on eBay

 

B18.

the rattling sound as if 2 metals were rubbing or bumping against eachother.
with the wrap since its thermo even if the manifold is rattling i shouldnt be able to hear it with the wrapping.

how do you know its the manifold? Did you get out and check it, or did you have someone else get out and check it at 90mph?

The wrap isnt going to be a fix. The problem will still be there.

 

Thats an SSAutoCrap manifold isn't it? If so, i wouldnt be surprised if that noise is the damn thing falling apart....

 

yeah i think it is. i wish i would of known that a year ago.
