    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Does it rattle because it is loose or just thin. If it is just thin I would ty puttong some JB weld on the underside of it to give it more strenght. Perhaps a bettrer explanation of the problem would make it easier for folks to answer. :)
 
Try a light coating of silicone on the interior to cushion it.

Mine, too. I've been meaning to fix it whenever I have to have the exhaust apart. There are two metal bands spot-welded to the inside of the cover (that covers where the header meets muffler). The bands then attach via screws to the exhaust system. One weld has broken, and causes a buzz or rattle audible at idle, particularly when the motor is cold.
