Hi Gang ...... I started up the car yesterday and it started to clang and bang from the middle. It sounds like there is a golf ball stuck in the Cat or one of the Resonators. The noise is relative to Revs and does not occur over bumps or rough road; only upon acceleration or revving. It's coming from the passenger side pipe (seems to be) and is quite loud !!!!! I've been frigging with the timing advance module for a few days; do you think I may have cooked a cat ??? (no warnings at all though, and the car is going like a "cut cat" lol !!!!!!! Whaddyas Reckon ?????
It's definatly not just a loose exhaust, I've wrenched it and wiggled and there is no unusual movement. It really sounds like a rock in the pipe !!!! What could it be ???

Cool; I'm pretty sure they came with a 3 Year Warranty - How do I shut it up in the meantime ????
..... or if I just keep blasting away will the bastard rattler come shooting out the Muffler like Steve McQueen Malkin's did at the Sexpo Sprints ????

thats a terribly irresponsible thing to reccomend.

I would also like to know of anyone who will perform this service in Victoria, as i shall shun them privately
My cats make the same noise, too many speed bumps making contact
