HELP!! LongTube Rattle I got obx long tubes about year and a half or so ago...car had 90k..ish on it then now has 114k

I had the same issue with my long tubes about 8 months after I installed them. When I changed the headers I didn't use any locktight so one of the header bolts backed out. Well it ended up in the collector of the header and after awhile it started to rattle around and make noise at certain rpms. I took it to a muffler shop, we stuck a magnet into the collector and found the bolt. Check your header bolts to see if they are all there. If they are check to make sure a rock or something didn't get caught in the collector and is rattling around in there. After that inccedent I installed Stag 8 locking bolts.
