    Default 97 civic 1.6 wierd rattling noise (VIDEO)

    Ok, so I have this rattling noise.. at certain RPM. at 1400-1500 and between 2800-3100 rpm.

    thats the are i cruise at (2800 rpm) and the rattling noise is BAD.
    one mechanic said its most likely that thing under the shield. with bunch of layers etc.

    heres the vid. (the car is rev'ed to 2800) you can hear the rattling.

    yea id get a header and move that cat down under the car in the normal position. that way it would still pass inspection or whatever. Dont have to worry about inspection here in rome so we slap a header and test pipe on! haha

    .......Just take off the heat shield......and your problem is solved. and please dont ask how to. Its common sense. Take off the bolt thats holding it and your done.

    it sounds like it may be something inside the cat.
