I replaced the left side first simply because my indi said that for some reasons the left will fail first.

Since it's stainless steel, I didn't have the welder to handle stainless, so used a stainless hose clamp tightened over the tang that had broken loose from the pipe and it has made a tight repair, holding well since.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have this weird rattle coming from the left exhaust pipe...if step on it a little bit it'll stop.....its like the exhaust is rattling up against something on that left side...

POST 2Original post

Your exhaust tip is probably loose. Tighten it up.

POST 3Original post

I had the same issue. If the tip isn't loose, check the bracket weld on the pipe just before the tip. My weld had broken lose. Since it's stainless steel, I didn't have the welder to handle stainless, so used a stainless hose clamp tightened over the tang that had broken loose from the pipe and it has made a tight repair, holding well since.

POST 4Original post

I had a rattle as well. Mine was the cats. I replaced the left side first simply because my indi said that for some reasons the left will fail first. The honeycomb pieces inside get brittle and fall apart. Causing the rattle. I ended up needing to replace both.

POST 5Original post

Rubber mallet is your friend . Get the car in the air and start hitting the exhaust . Concentrate around the cats and tips . You should be able to find the culprit .

POST 6Original post

Had the exact same issue a few months back on my 2004 C4S... It ended up being the bracket that attached to the exhaust tip that was loose. They had to weld it back together.
