You'll be able to pinpoint the rattle soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormsearcher Donating Members 28 Member For: 13y 7m 26d Posted 11/11/12 02:11 AM Author Share Posted 11/11/12 02:11 AM Do I need to pull the cat back out to clean out the debris? Needs a tune maybe. Oh well time to put more parts on.the only issue is have to drive 1200 kms for a tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormsearcher Donating Members 28 Member For: 13y 7m 26d Posted 11/11/12 03:07 AM Author Share Posted 11/11/12 03:07 AM Just checked under the car.exhaust has no rattles. The noise happened just a few weeks ago. I thought the engine was losing its bottom end after some mods.wog cooler,72 lb injectors typhoon intake cat back and tune.300 HP at the wheels.I drive the car every 2 weeks for about 30-40 kms but like I stole it.half the sh*t it gone probably and free flow too. Have some more parts to fit.soon.maybe get a venom to match the 4" dump I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormsearcher Donating Members 28 Member For: 13y 7m 26d Posted 12/11/12 10:23 AM Author Share Posted 12/11/12 10:23 AM A tech question. If my cat had collapsed and car has been tuned if I change the cat to a venom or ballistic 4" body do I need a retune immediately?The issue is I live 1200 kms from Perth.I have been driving it like I stole it. No issues so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
