hey guys my car has a loud rattling and noise
comin from the exhaust, now its sounds loud
and obnoxious! its like it has a leak or something

before i get it looked at
anyone knows what this problem is?

any ideas from anyone

thnks

 

anyone can help

i need advice

 

It's probably your heat shield.

 

What i did to find the rattle was stand at the back of the car and shake the muffler. listen for any rattles and work your way from there. If you hear rattles it's more than likely your heat-shield which basically runs the length of your exhaust (check by the flanges because this is the most common place where they will rub). If you don't hear rattles there is a good chance you have an exhaust leak. Mine just recently rotted out about 2 weeks ago, i had some huge gaping holes in the piping leading to the muffler. Thanks New Jersey for salting the roads so well. Good luck in your findings hope it doesnt break the wallet to much.

 

how much did this ass this cost

 

I was tired of it any how so i just changed out the whole cat back system. It was $550 but i put it on myself so i saved some that way, i'm sure there are less expensive kit's but i wanted something quiet and it seems like you've gotta spend some dough to get that accomplished . Anyhow to repair the pipe it would've been fairly cheap, probably somewhere between 50-100 dollars at a meineke shop.

 

yea thats all

iam gonna check that out
what kinda of exhaust u got?

and what kinda of sound is it doing

 

u guyz think

might as well replace the exhaust
w/upgrade exhaust system?


what do u guyz think?

 

anyone?

 

need comments guyz

 

Just rip the heatshield off, that probably wat is making the noise. Everything else is pretty optional.

 

Agreed...just rip off the heat shield, it is free to do!

 

yea aight.....but

my exhasut is soundin different

ya think its aleak somewhere
it sounds deep and ricey

daaaammmmm!

 

Most likely a leak, just go under the car near the muffler in the rear and feel the pipe (when it's cooled down of course) and see if it's rusted through anywhere. If it's rust that is flaking off there is a good chance that somewhere down the line there is a leak in your exhaust system.

 

so ya think i should
rplace the exhaust system?

 

Yeah I have the perfect one for you. A Greddy SP ready to install with a hi flo cat for $300.00!

 

all star ur the fawkin man......
ur car crew is sick....from the tl to the
sylvia

what kinda sound would i get from that
also my car is a 2.2
would it fit?

 

Thanks man we got some new cars coming for 2004 so stay tuned for that.. The Greddy SP has a low and deep tone not high pitch like generic exhausts. I would think it would fit I dont see why not but if I'm wrong can anyone correct me on this?

 

anybody know?

 

I'm not 100% but i don't think it will work. The 97-99 3.0 accord cat-back is a seperate model number than the 94-97 2.2 accord. I can tell you for sure the 94-97 2.2 model will directly fit your cat. without any custom bending.
