Hi All ,

I had the mechanic replace the tail pipe with the secondary muffler since I threw out my back I couldn't do the work, Anywhoo .. now it sounds like a rattling can in the cab.

what should I look for to see what the genius did . missing gasket on the flange ..? bolts not tight enough...?

Step 1: Drive car back to mechanic have them inspect.

Been to step 1 : the obvious . yes I have been there and they were not much help .. so I went to step 2 : let the wife look at the exhaust ..yup you heard me ..
she found the issue .. apparently the hanger that is welded to the muffler is point in the wrong direction so its vibrating / banging up against the frame.

moved over the rubber to allow some room at the end .. issue was resolved .. quiet :)
