What makes you think it's the resonator? Nothing in it that can really rattle. It's probably a tack weld on one of the exhaust shields on it or one of the exhaust shields on the car. Just get the tack weld fixed.

bet it is the heat shield around the cat.

yeah i guess ill look at both soon... is there any way to fix this? im so sick of the rattling its actually pretty loud n makes my car sound like a piece of junk

ok i guess ill try to do it! ill figure out which heat shield it is first i guess then go at it!

im figuring it probably got knocked loose because of the unavoidable potholes all over the roads around my area. god damn on the drive to school every day the roads are so bumpy its nuts... they need to re-pave!!!

it's everywhere right now with rought roads. that's the downfall of the end of winter in the northern states.

yea i know, i hate winters up here... salt+potholes= no good for cars

The rattle on mine was the resonator heat shield, and the rotted through resonator making it rattle. nothing a piece of stainless could'nt fix!
03-29-2009
what do you mean, did you just put in a straight pipe or just fix the shield?
03-29-2009
I straight piped it, Cost of a new resonator here was like 300 bucks versus a 10$ piece of stainless.Change in exhaust note is minimal.

yeah, if its the resonator shield i might just fix it but if its rotted through i might get a straight pipe or glasspack
