exhaust noise/rattle
okay so i have this issue of a exhaust rattle now i thought it was something touching or rubbing but i inspected everything even thought about the steering shaft touching so i moved that out of the way. the noise comes through the mufflers so i thought the inner part of the muffler was bad so i removed it started the car up revved the engine up and it was still there. so i thought it might be the center resonator so i removed the whole center section now running through obx headers with obx resonators i could still hear the noise its almost like the exhaust amplifies the turbulence of the air it only happens when the engine winds down around 1500 rpm down to idle. i will post a vid tomorrow does anyone know what causes this
obx headers through corsa cat back

That's my car in the vid, I'm pretty sure it's the resonator rattle that some have complained about. I have headers on the way and am swapping the res out for an x pipe. I had my stock catback on before I got the corsa and didn't have the rattle sound. It still has the raspiness on decel though. I think that's just the exhaust scavenge from stock mani's though. We will see.
