Default Header rattle

I installed a set of pacesetter long tubes and i have some sort of rattle. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I dont see were the header is touching anything but it has a rattle while idleing, sounds like its coming from driver side, and about to drive me nuts. EVERYONE please chimne in

Everything tightened down good from the install?

Nothing under the car vibrating against it?

I know when I got my Kooks in, my clutch hydraulic line was rubbing against the #7 primary. Wasn't making noise, but I did move it to protect the line and the fluid.

Might want to crawl back under there and take another look...I know I miss things from time to time.

Good luck.

I'll guess it's your A.I.R. check valves. Did you put restrictors in? Check here to see what they look like.

Check the heat shields around the headers. Maybe some of them are loose or rubbing up against the headers....

A set of poly motor mounts will solve your y-pipe banging issues
