josh2005 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey everyone! I've got a Japspeed K2 on my 350Z and recently it's started rattling, not sure where from exactly but it seems to be from the tip on the right side, not sure if this is possible though? It only seems to be when I first start up and for the first 5 or 10 minutes when driving, is quite loud from outside the car! I didn't know if anyone had experienced this before and what the best way was to fix it! I have just spend quite a bit of money on her so can't afford to put a new exhaust on her currently! So just looking for a way to repair her! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 viewtopic.php?t=64231 See here my man. Discussed in the thread above very recently. Rattley tailpipe weld I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh2005 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I found that thread just after I posted once I used the search! doh! I will take it to a garage in the week to be looked at, I don't have much of a clue how much I should be looking at price wise for it to be welded! Do you have an idea how much is too much for welding so I have an idea in my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 i have exactly the same thing, don't expect much help from Japspeed either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just need a couple of spot welds to the inner skin of the tips to stop rattle. I'd be surprised if you had to spend more than a fiver if anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 yeah that's my short term fix, just shows what a poor product it is since there's quite a few reporting this problem now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if you had to spend more than a fiver if anything at all. Im sure someone drilled a hole and put a self taper in and this did the same thing.

SteveW Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 ^^^ yeah that would do the job should be pretty easy to do aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah it sorted it nicely, no embarrassing rattle now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh2005 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 I used some exhaust paste between the gaps which were rattling!, got the same effect as welding! Not sure how long it will last though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
