exhaust rattle is coming from inside the exhaust.... what could this be?

(2nd picture on ktec link and its coming from the 2nd box area, not the back box but the other part directly under the car...)

its a constant loud rattle which is embarrasing and very annoying!

The baffles are probably falling apart, mine sure are but in the mid pipe and the backbox, sound like cack.

I have the same problem - thinking it may be the heat shield but not 100% sure?

I had this problem on a k-tec stealth system. Just contact them its a fault there aware of. Dodgy welding on the internals on a batch of them. They sent me a new one out and thats been fine.

Give Dave a call, he should sort you out right, you still have receipt at hand just incase?

yea i have the reciept, but it was bought by the owner before me. still should be ok tho shouldnt it..

mine did this on astandard exhaust.
it did it on a full SS system.
i removed most of the heat shields. it still does it.

i have no idea what does it. im even thinking about wrapping the exhaust to see if it stops it!

remove the center section and get a piece of piping put in ! Did it to my Standard 182 exhaust and had no rattles since then,

would that not downgrade the performance/sound from the exhaust though?
