HELP with exhaust rattling/banging noise

[emma5]

Hi, My mate fitted me a scorpion exhaust about a a month ago, and all was fine until a couple of days after where i noticed when i was stopped at traffic lights a loud rattling noise from the rear end. I ended up getting out when i got home and having a look and my exhaust was vibrating onto the bumper and causing the banging/rattling noise. It was slightly not straight so it was vibrating on the side it was too close too. So I took it back and he did whatever he did to line it back up. And again all was fine until a day or two after and it happened again, now the exhaust on the right hand side it to high up and vibrating against the top part of the bumper. Its the most annoying noise in the world.

Does anyone have any idea why the exhaust keeps moving after a day or two and wont stay in place?

Thanks

Emma

The exhaust hangers are probably knackered, maybe he's bodged it for a quick fix.

Oh great!!! because it was fine before i took it too him, So how do I tell if the exhaust hangers are knackered?

Yes, the issue is the Scorpion Zorst ( assuming it's single back box ) same as mine is much lighter than the renault one so it doesn't weigh the rubbers down as much. what I did was cabletie a socket into the top part above the bolt to stretch it, after a week or so it will settle and be fine, job jobbed,

Have a look at the rubber mounts that are in the bracket. Could be as Harbinger said though.

 

[emma5]

No its a twin, i have a 182!!

The rubber insert that sits in the mount can be split or worn so the back box just moves around

No the back box not the pipes, is it one box that branches off into two pipes?

 

[emma5]

Yes it branches off into two pipes sorry!!

Ok so Ignore the fact bout the rubbers being shagged infact they are probably very good and the exhaust is too light, I had the same issue. just get a socket, something useless like a 5/8ths and cable tie it into the rubber above the mount, so it pushes it down nicely, make it nice and tight so it doesn't come out, after a week with a bit of heat from the exhaust it will stay like that and you can take the socket out.

Ok thanks, I will try that haha i will probably end up buggering it up though!! Thanks for your help

Did you get this sorted Emma? I was going to try to fix it through Prima rock solid mounts but I was told the vibrations would be even louder
