Tomei exhaust spring rattle
 

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.

possibly lol, i only drove it in my underground parking lot at home, i will take it out as soon as the roads have no snow, but thats good to know.

thanks

nice yea these would totally work!! thanks man

no prob. I think I'm going with the Tomei as well.

I got the type 60R with the Tomei test pipe lol it sounds bad ass, loud but i love loud exhaust :) i got my camera charging, will upload some clips tomorrow

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

Had my 60s on for some time and never had rattles.

Well that sounds like pure sex!

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.
