pacesetter ory rattling under floorboard
pacesetter ory rattling under floorboard i just put the pacesetter LT's and ORY and it seems like it is rattling under the drivers side floorboard at idle, what can i do to stop this? this setup sounds very good and i am pleased with it, any suggestions???
When the exhaust shop welded my ORY up to the headers it was very close to the floorboard so the guy took a huge crow bar and bent it down a little. Its not rubbing the floorboard but it does occasionally rattle on the k member. I'm going to have to get down there with a dremel and see if i can grind away at the k member.
try bending it a shoving some hot water heater hose in between the floorboard and the ory! thats what fixed my setup! tie it on with some bayling wire! i know it sounds like im a shade tree mechanic, and i am at times, when its little stuff like this. enjoy brother!

Mine did the very same thing so I went to a exhaust shop I know and trust. Told them my problem and they said it can be fixed. So I pull my car into the bay they put it up in the air looked at the Y-pipe for a second. I thought there was some kind of speacial tool to adjust exhaust pipes. Next thing I know the guy is prying on my Y-pipe with some kind of extra pipe they had laying around. Lol Of course I freaked but like I said I trusted these guys. So after the cars done I go on a short drive low and behold no more banging!!! Sometimes the caveman way is best.
That was almost a year ago now and still no banging.

I put pacesetters on this past summer with TSP catted y. had same problem with banging on the floor board. I cut a 3" piece of heater hose and clamped it to the piping where it was rattling. Rattle is GONE now and you cant see it.

I installed poly mounts this past weekend and it seems to have completely eliminated my pacesetter LTs and ORY from rattling/banging! However, beware! I did the poly motor mount install WITH my pacestters LTs already installed, and let me tell you it's one hell of a job! Took a total of about 11 -12 hrs with my roomate helping me. Its a bitch, but its worth it. Stops the banging at the source.

I have the same problem and I considered wedging something there but I would have thought anything rubber would melt. I'll have to try this hose method.

Heater hose works great, I put 2 hoses in there because I'm and overachiever. I had an old jeep engine sitting outside so I cut a piece of hose off it that actually connected to the manifold. The hottest part of the exhaust is the manifold or headers, by the time it gets to the y its a ton cooler. Don't worry about it melting, mine have been in for almost a month and theres no melting.
It seems to me like just jamming some heater hose inbetween the ory and the floorboard would transfer all kinds of weird noises and vibrations into the cabin. kinda seems ghetto to me, but if it works it works. Im installing poly mounts right now.
