I bought a Remus axle back race exhaust like 7 weeks ago. After a couple of weeks I started to hear it to rattle when I drove in low gears, this only happened once or twice and then it never came back, it was just for a brief moment, so I never thought of it after that.
2 weeks ago, I removed the OPF and tuned the car. Approx. 1 week after this I heard a loud metallic sound in the car and panicked. But there were no problems with the car and no CEL...nothing at all, so obviously I just forgot about that too.
A couple of days after that the exhaust started to rattle only when it gets hot, but it happens almost every day now. I can only hear it in low gears, and pretty low speed (sometimes I can hear it in the cabin but only for a short moment and in certain rpms). Now I can almost hear it all the time after like 30-45 min of driving (especially if im driving more aggressive and it gets hotter).
The problem with this is that both times when I drove it to a workshop, the problem goes away, probably because the exhaust cools off. I even tried today to drive it hard before and when I went into the workshop, I still couldnt hear it. Probably it wasnt hot enough. But after a 30-35 min drive home, the sound came back.....ofc ?
Im pretty damn sure its something inside the muffler but what do you guys think? I cannot see anything else under the car that can rattle, and i've tried to shake other things to produce the sound.
Is this the muffler or could it be something else that can produce this sound? Why does it only sound when it gets hotter? ?
Here's a clip of some revving where you can hear the rattle:
And here's a clip of me trying to shake the exhaust to see whats rattling. You can hear something loose near / inside the muffler but im not 100 % sure exactly where it is. No other pipe is touching eachother.
