Exhaust Rattle Cure

Postby Earlybird » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:18 pm

Found this handy bit of info when researching where the hell an annoying buzzing/rattling sound in the front of my exhaust may be coming from http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=371939

Turns out the spot weld on my engine pipe shield is cactus so a trip to bunnings is in order and fingers crossed..make my rattle go away.

Zinging sound around 2000-3000 RPM can also be due to the bullet muffler heat shield securing tab/s breaking.

My exhaust rattle was because of two broken engine mounts
