Resonator Rattle
Is it ok if the resonator rattles a little bit? I just got a corsa touring and when I got it home I noticed when I moved it I heard I slight rattle, kinda like a couple pebbles in it. Any thoughts? Did I get screwed over?
I need an answer ASAP plz =/

Wow, so first off I'm an idiot, it's the muffler part that rattles. So I was talking to a guy from corsa and he said there's no packing that should be loose but if part of the cat where to break off and enter the channels in the muffler then it could cause a rattle. Anyone had this problem and know a good way to get em out?

Are you sure it's not rubbing something somewhere? A rub will rattle, and can usually be fixed by bending the pipes a little. It's a big PITA to pull stuff apart like that...

I'm thinking if a piece of the cat broke and landed in one of the holes in the muffler section then it's just a matter of shaking it out...even though I've done it for 20 minutes today and no luck lol. Guess I gotta stay optimistic lol.
