Question on T1R B-Pipe
Question on T1R B-Pipe
I installed the B-pipe and i notice that it rattles like if its hitting on something, can someone help me out with this problem because its a bit annoying hearing that rattling sound on a red light
The reason it is rattling is because it is hitting something.
It was not installed properly.
Take it back to the shop who did the work and have them fix it. If you installed it yourself check your work.

Mo-Fuk, The rattling is coming from one of two places. 1) It's either coming from the beginning of the B-Pipe at the first bend where there is an aluminum heat shield that it is vibrating against. The shield can be bended or cut in that area where it's touching the pipe.
or
2) if you have an aftermarket axle-back, then the axle-back and the B-Pipe combined is causing the alxe-back pipe to hit the frame of your car. This is easily fixed by adjusting the rubber bushing holding the axle-back in place.
Both were happening to me and that's how i solved both noises.

It's on the first bend to the cut off part because the sound comes right from under the passenger seat. I think I am going to have to adjust the blushings because it might be to far in... Thank you I'm going to see if that does the trick. I hope it does
It's the heat shield/car frame near that first bend then. Let me guess, it rattles even louder when you put the car in reverse?
it was the heat shield, i removed it after work but now the only rattle is coming from the cat back. I'm going to try tightening down more to see if that stops it....
you know exactly whats going on. can i stop the rattling from the cat back?

The other location that I think you are producing noise is from the end of the B-Pipe that connects with the axle-back where the pipe is near or almost on the frame when that bend of pipe goes over the frame. If so, your bushing needs to be adjusted and I can tell you which one with pics of my car. but please confirm first the other stuff above ^^^
