Default carsound rattling FIXED!

I have been complain a lot lately on honda tech about the quality of carsound cat

It turns out the rattling was not carsound's fault...I brought it in to a muffler shop and they told me I need a flex pipe...They put one on and it was all good

on me for not putting one in earlier and living through 1 month of nasty rattling

A pipe.. that flexes.

Seriously, flex pipes can be various materials but the most common at a performance shop with be braided stainless with two normal solid pipes on each side.. the braided stainless part flexes.

So was the rattle fixed or did the flex pipe make the rattle stop?
