Rattling noise coming from center console after cbe install

brianx42 · 10-21-2016, 09:33 PM

Hey guys,

Recently after installing my Beluga Catback exhaust i noticed a rattling noise coming from my center console at low speeds / when hitting bumps.

At first the noise wasn't there but after about 600 miles i started to hear this weird rattling under my center console. I'm starting to think that my mid-pipe is loose and is hitting the cross beam?

Please note that after i installed my beluga catback i noticed that there wasn't a lot of clearance with the cross bean so me and my friend adjusted the cross beam by putting washer on.

Is this normal when you have a CBE installed?

Thanks,
Brian

maybe check alignment of pipes, I had to put upward pressure on pipes before tightening, check ur heat shields for looseness or bent

There is a heat shield right in the middle between the driveshaft and exhaust
