NOT HEAT SHIELDS.. just so you know they are gone

<FONT COLOR="red">Has anyone had a rattle between header/manifold and exhaust (from the springs I think that let the pipe flex).. I'm having a rattle there.. I think itst he springs and I'm thinking a flex pipe will fix it but people have told me about flex pipes ripping (is that likely)..

I've read in OEM info stuff that is a problem w/ the OEM exhaust setup.. the springs rattle.. and replacing the spring and gasket would fix the rattle.. (nope I tried it)

ANY HELP WILL DO THANKS</FONT>

 

Are you sure it's not the metal pipe inside the bottom portion of the header? That tends to rattle at 3-4k rpm when it falls apart.

 

Headman Header .. (soon to be jdm dc)

 

So you replaced your springs/bolts that connect the header to the exhaust? And you have an aftermarket header. Hum, I'm kinda stumped. Maybe the shifter is rattling on the exhaust piping?

 

EDIT: nevermind

 

nope.. its the springs.. anyone have a flex pipe running any kinda serious hp? .. I've heard they break

 

Why don't you replace the bolts and springs? Once you get them tight they shouldn't rattle.

 

Trust me they rattle and today the cat started rattling again.. time to weld on it again (DAMNIT .. I've been working on my exhaust since I got the damn car..)
