Y Pipe Rattle Fix?

LeaK · 02-26-2023, 05:49 PM

Hey everyone I installed PPE headers the other day and I’m over all happy with them but driving around between 3k rpm or higher and especially when engine braking my Tomei titanium y pipe has a very prevalent rattle where the arms that converge into the pipe held by the clamps. Any suggestions other than tightening the clamps?

And I guess you also got the Tomei single exhaust? I would say try add more mounts on the pipes and make them more tight?

Yeah single exit. I’ll try that tomorrow and let you know

Could be VQ engine hiss.

Check it out on youtube, sounds like rattling.
