Tomei exhaust spring rattle - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

hotpanda1 · 02-13-2014, 08:14 PM

has anyone with one of the 3 Tomei exhaust's removed the springs?I have the type 60R and i can hear them rattle all the time and drives me nuts, not a huge rattle but i know its there and now its all i listen for haha.

I was thinking of wrapping them with Hi temp exhaust/manifold wrap, pretty stupid design, i took the springs off my tome exhaust on my evo, but there was only 2 of them compared to 4 on the Type 60R

Don't the springs allow the piping to flex? It is a full titanium exhaust after all.

no they don't

these little springs that "hold" the piping together, but the clamps are really good

Oh. can you possibly put a hi temp sleeve over them? something like these: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...FeYDOgodEggA0Q

are they really that bad though? Can you post a vid? Just wondering because I am debating between the tomei 80r and perrin 3" still.

Doesn't it only rattle when you start up the car through cold start? Mine goes away after like 3-5 minutes of driving/exhaust warmed up.

Dunno if you can hear the rattle too much. This is the 60s with the front pipe.

i have the tomei 60s with front pipe as well and it didnt rattle at first but now

it rattles all the time. I tried to pm ft86 speedfactory about this but jeremy

refused to help since I didnt purchase the exhaust from them? lol pretty

ridiculous if you ask me. Why be on these forums if they arent willing to share

and help other 86 owners which is the whole point of the forum.

@RallySport Direct on the other hand was very helpful and answered right

away. They recommended the heat wrap and also checking your springs so

they are furthest away from the pipe. I havent had time to try this yet but

Rallysport Direct has had these exhausts for a long time so im sure it will help.
