Exhaust rattling

Post by madmonkey »

Hi guys, got a seriously rattling exhaust, heatshields and front catalytic monolith breaking up (I think). What do you think is the the most economical fix to do here? 91 Legacy n/a 4wd 138,000mi.
Also this thing refuses to pass emissions here, co is too high.

If they are your heat sheilds then you can also have them tac welded at muffler shops. I've done that a few times, but the problem eventually came back. After the third time I ended up getting them cut off.

I chopped, vise-gripped, and yanked on some of my heat shields and the rest I put large SS-bands around.
