Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior magnaflow question

i got a magnaflow exhaust and its makin this bangin or clickin sound. went to a shop and they said its Fiberglass coming loose. he said its not a problem, can anyone verify this as being the problem or what. thanks

whats making the noise?? the tip/ can????? Ive never heard of a muffer making a banging noise?

is it Fiberglass from your body

im not sure where the noise is coming from, ive looked and it seems to me that its comin from the tip. as far as the Fiberglass you mean like the bumper?

i think they lyin... Fiberglass?? unless your rear bumper is hittin the tip

are you sure he didnt say the glass packed tip? is it only when you drive or when you rev it...take it to anohter mech

when does it make this sound? When you are driving or after you are driving.

when im stopped mostly but now a piece fell off the end and its hangin, the piece that fell off is like a steel pole that attaches to the end of the tip of the muffler

I just know my magnaflow muffler sounds funny only after I just start up my car and rev it (but only sometimes). Maybe it just needs to get warmed up? But then it goes away after a little bit. btw I have a magnaflow high flow cat, no resonator to a round street series stainless magnaflow muffler, sounds racy yet smooth, and not too loud (at least the cali cops don't come after me after I rev at them).

i had a magnaflow on my 240sx i used to have, it had that same weird sound, like a popping sound when you got into high rpm's...got the shop to replace it with same one...did the same thing...i never really liked the sound of those for some reason

if you got the cat back version make sure that you ahve the hangers in the rubber grommet parts properly, and that the tip isn't hitting the bumper. Also, the screw clamp that you put onto the pipe where the tip piping slides over the piping coming from the muffler should be reall really tight...if its not super tight then you'll get a little rattle
