Universal silencer rattles..... best way to fix?
Just like the topics says. I got a universal silencer for my magnaflow cat-back and installed it. Problem is, it doesn't fix snug, and rattles around when i'm at idel. Just wanted to see what you guys would think is the best fix for that? Anyone else have this problem and have some solutions, any info would be great.

I have a universal silencer at the minute, i assume your problem is the back box rattling if so i had the same problem, had to pull the silencer further back so the tip was flush with the back bumper and then move the hanging bracket points on the car and make a better hanging bracket to attach it as the ones with it did knack all this cured the problem of rattling noise but not sure if it worked completely as the pipe behind the silencer has just sheared, could be through vibration not sure though!

who needs a silencer just dont run one and there ya go no more rattle. Better to have it a little louder than having a rattle plus i dont like the way that silencers look.
