    What to do about muffler rattle?

    I had kind of the same problem, my heat shields, across my entire exhaust line, had bust welds on one side or another. I simply pryed them off, and everything is still fine. Nothing gets too hot, or hot at all. I have been told they are just there so if you run over anything, whatever it is...

    Looking for mods with little $$$

    Im not doing what he suggested: What would cut through exhaust pipe metal best? A sawsall, or an angle grinder? Im going to to cheap, cut out my old muff, and add in a $20 Cherry Bomb muff. Just for some sound, and to "fix" the hole in my OEM muffler. I have the angle grinder, but a...
