One of the many horrific noises my car makes atm is the spoon decat, there is a real bad rattling noise which i originally thought was the heat sheild but its actually the decat, there seems to be a cylinder of sheet matal inside with holes punched all over it, this seems to be loose.

Can anyone tell me a good way to get this out as i dont want to throw away a spoon decat pipe.

thanks

 

Cut the factory welds and opener up...
Or you could cut a little window just large enough to access the guts...
Just throwing some ideas out there...

 

hmm, that is an idea.

I was hoping not to have to have it welded back up thoug since i havnt got a welder

 

Sounds like its time to junk it if the guts are loose and rattleing its likely rotted out inside and not doing any good anyway.
