Default Finally found the sniper rattle!

Every time id start my car, cold hot never mattered it would always rattle, always the same rattle never any different. So today I put it on the lift and adjusted some heat shields checked every possible thing that could make a noise. The noise was coming from the engine bay lower drivers side. I remembered a thread a while back about a guy dropping a socket into headers inbetween where the 4 pipes meet the collector. So I get a plastic zip tie and shove it in that spot. What do ya know a damn old header bolt! I switched to ARP bolts while doing my Pacesetter install an I guess lost track of that bolt! No more rattle!!!

Nah the one that was that I pulled out of the middle of the tubes was a old one. All the ARP's are there.
