Downpipe Rattle Dangerous?
Downpipe Rattle Dangerous?
Ok guys. I did the search and I read. I know alot of people have downpipe rattle. My question is however is the rattle dangerous. I was driving tonight and I had my first experience of the rattle. Everytime I started accelerating from a deadstop I heard it loud and clear. it was so loud that I thought maybe my whole exhaust fell off. So Im worried I might cause more damage if I drive it before I fix it. So does anybody know if the rattling will cause permanent damage or is it just an annoyance thing? Thanks.

thanks for input. Yeah i know how to solve it from reading peoples earlier posts. But what I really want to know is if the rattle is dangerous to the car? It just sounds so bad. Thanks
it depends on what is causing the rattle. if it's just the lower tie bars then it's not a big problem. if it's hitting the subframe then that's a problem and you should get it fixed by getting new hangers or some rewelding.
