Well i finally found out what the ridiculous rattle in my exhaust was. I took my car to my mechanic today and had him put it up on the lift. Apparently the inside of the cat in my BBK catted H is broken apart. The part is past the 1 year warranty period now so looks like another unexpected part purchase upcoming for 2436. Any suggestions, should i go with the offroad pipe or keep it legal?

why would you not want to be legal?

I would go with an O/R depending on how inspections in your area go.

I had that rattle as well. I just dumped all the broken converters bits out and put it back on!!!

u didnt have to cut anything apart, it just all dumped out?

Hollow the rest out and just get the mil eliminators, and you are done.

 

[Bullitt2436KM]

what do i use to get it all out?

 

[54deuce]

A long crow bar or something like that, I would suggest taking it off the car and having someone hold it on the ground to do it. You could vacuum the stuff out or shake it out and sweep up. It is going to be powder and chunks do not breath in please where a small mask of some sort. The BBK pipe has just 2 cats, I think I am correct. Did it burn though one whole cat or was just part of it?

 

[Bullitt2436KM]

i have no idea how much it has burnt through. it just started this rattling, i thought one of the pipes was loose until i took it to my mechanic. And the BBK does have 2

No check engine light?

Be smart, cut the cats off the pipe and take it to accurate on landsdown ave. They will give you BIG $$$ for those things. Scrap metal is through the roof. As far as pipes go, if you know someone who will inspect your car with an off road H then go for it. If not, then get a catted H again.

No i dont have a check engine light....i guess its still working alright, just the sh*it is rattling around in there.

Steve--i really dont want to go through all that trouble, id rather just dump the crap out, get rid of the rattle and keep it the way it is. Is there something wrong with that?

 

[54deuce]

It will look like you have cats, but you will not if you hollow them out. It will smell a little going through the drive up for food and standing behind the car when it is running. The price of a catted h-pipe is crazy.

 

[Bullitt2436KM]

yea man its ridiculous how much more it is to get cats, almost $200 more

I don't think the aftermarket cats bring anywhere near what OEM cats do. Most places around here won't give you but about 10 bucks for an aftermarket one.

buy the bassani mid pipe with removable cats. get inspected with them on then swap the pipes over

will that fit with the BBK LT headers?

See my post on "Speed Bumps" Caused same problem but I had a check eng light too.

There are cats out that now use a stainless wire in stead of ceramic. I would get those.
