Pinging & ponging in exhaust

randbstar · 06-23-2005, 12:34 AM

Okay, I am back once again!
Needs some help with possible exhaust issues!

SCOOP: when i drive i hear rattling like something is rattling inside pipes or something.

Could it be the exhaust flange gasket that needs to be changed???

I thought it was my cats so i replaced them with an H-pipe w/ cats.
That didn't work so i dont know. When in higher degree weather the sound gets louder.

I'm assuming maybe its the flange gasket as it's connected to the manifold and exhaust. Possibly not sealed as tight and air getting through or something. I dont know but it sure is IRRITATING to my ears. I cant really ride because the rattling is so darn LOUD!!!

Any thoughts??????
