Muffler Silencers

[Stefanos]

Ok so I'm happy with these new mufflers but one thing that is driving me ape shit. The silencers inside the canisters are rattling like crazy. They are definitely in there good. I took them out and wouldn't you know they rattling is gone... Now I just have a car that's louder than desired...but still sounds mean of course do these silencers make a difference in performance at all? Or is it just literally a silencer. Thanks

if anything they are cutting off flow and therefore hurting performance. but I doubt by anything that would really be noticeable except on a dyno. very VERY minor 'hindrance' in air flow, I imagine. so if you want best possible exhaust flow - leave them out I say. If it's too loud w/ out them, well, you may want to keep looking for what is rattling on them. if they are taking performance down it's only in very smallest manner IF at all. I say LEAVE them OFF! But that's me. My car sounds like a STi if not louder. I love it.

Im 100% sure the rattling was the silencers. After I took them out it stopped. My car sounds really deep and throaty aka not a shitty fart can civic. Hahaha.

The rattling in my car was caused by the loose stock springs that go on with the stock bolts when I put on the RRE Magnaflow axleback. Removed those 2 spring things and no rattle but now the Magnaflow's been welded.

The silencer shakes and bounces off the inside a lil. Try buyin extra ones and cuttin the pipe shorter. Thats wat i did. Still rattled alil but only when i lightly gave it gas
