Extractors fitted. Major rattle only on heavy throttle

[sxc_sound]

So i fitted a set of extractors yesterday.

Not welded on, Just clamped on for now, ( they are getted welded tomorrow morning) There is a slight leak on each side where they join the Y pipe, as you would expect from crappy U bolts..

Anyway, driving is fine, taking off up to about 2500- 3000rpm is perfect and goes up through the gears..


the problem onlly happens when you plant it.. only realy happens in first tho. From a stand still its just a really REALLY rattling BRRRRRRRRR and just stops after about 4500rpm and then is perfect in second gear.. and when i say rattle, i mean RATTLE, you can feel it through the steering wheel and my seat vibrates.

So im thinking, is it possible for there be air shooting out the leak so fast that its making the pipe rattle that much? its coming front somewhere low on the passanger front side...

Went to my exhaust shop and got the extractors welded on this morning.

Got him to have a look and he pointed out where the paint off the extractors is hitting the body of the car. its about 2-3 inches away when the car is off or on idle
but whne you rev it, its hitting, So im thinking engine mounts?

I would think replacing them would be up there on your list of things to do.
