hmm...i just bought a silencer for my NUR spec...weird thing is...is that it rattles...and its kinda irritating...just wondering if anyone else has this problem...and how i might solve it...b'cuz i love the exhaust...but sometimes its just loud...for example...coming home at 3-4 in the morning from my girlfriends house...doesn't really make anyone happy hearing me come home that early/late...doesn't make the neighbors happy neither...

When I got the nur spec it was shipped with the silencer.
Mine doesn't rattle at all, it just sounds weak.
I'm wondering if they're exactly them same, do you have a pic.

Lock washers
My silencer that came with my exhaust didn't rattle at all. However, just to make sure that It didn't come loose I went and got some lock washers and a nut that would fit the screw. When tightened down it NEVER comes loose. However, I rarely use the silencer anyway.
I had the same ratteling when I installed my silencer, so I slid the head of a small flat head screwdriver in the gap and twisted the screwdriver to open the gap alittle, then I inserted a paperclip. Its been there for about 25,000 miles with no rattle. Good luck!
