2002 wagon exhaust knocking.....

Ok, my 02 WRX wagon has a Borla hush on it.

About a month ago, it fell apart. Seriously. Where the Down pipe ends and the area where a cat should be the thing had one "Tack Weld" holding it in place.

No big deal, took the car to a friends muffler shop and they re welded it, more securely this time.

Now, it rattles. Seems it is mis aligned now.

Is this a common issue with exhausts on the wagon? If so....what is a fix for it?

Can't complain to the muffler ship IMHO, they fixed it for free....

Remembered seeing something in here about Wagon exhaust rattle....but can't find now.

Thanks.

I have a wagon and exhaust rattle.... should I be worried?

My exhaust rattles too.... Do you have a flex section in the mid pipe? If not, maybe that's what caused the intial problem, but that's just a guess. Hope you get it sorted out.

if its the muffler try hardened mounts
or have the shop weld a piece of scrap to hold it firmly in place.
