Here's a trick question.
 

Ok I currently have SLP LT's on my 2000. The problem I have with them is the top ring connected to the wiring on the O2 sensors, rattles like crazy. I have the 3 inch Y-pipe that came with the headers. I took it to a exhaust shop here in Vegas, and he said they can't be fixed, because he tried to weld them, and the welds actually melts the wiring. Is this guy full of BS or is there something I can do with all four sensors. A few of my club members don't have this problem, thats why I'm confused. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> The reason it bugs me is because it sounds like metal to metal vibration, and you can hear it 10 ft away from the car. Any ideas? Thanks. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Take some red RTV and spooge it in the area of wires and ring. Use liberally. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I used electrical tape. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

D@mn, I thought it was just me with this problem. Been driving me nuts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I can hear it really good at startup. Sounds like coins jingling.

I was afraid a piece of the cat brick had broken off and was rattling around in there but then I was under the car one day and just started beating on stuff <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> to see if I could find the rattle and found that those caps were loose.

Are ya'll sure the RTV or tape won't melt or foul the sensors???

No issues with electrical tape...

Re: Here's a trick question.
 

I have used a stainless steel CV joint straps that are a type of "crimp lock" in the past, there about 1/8 of an inch wide and they fit perfect and don't loosen up. Or I am sure High Temp RTV will work too, never tried that.

I used electrical tape too.

Re: Here's a trick question.
 

I think honestly tomorrow I will try the tape, being that I have a ton of it. If that doesn't work thien I'll try the rtv.

Re: Here's a trick question.
 

Well I wrapped them today with tape and so far it sounds pretty good. I think they still rattle a bit though. Oh well. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
