So, a few days ago, I dropped my exhaust down so I could remove the tips. All went well. While doing that, I noticed the clamp I had gotten when I put my downpipe on (MAP catted\resonated) downpipe was rusted to hell, and slightly loose on the downpipe side. So I ordered a new clamp and some muffler sealant, and planned on doing the Diggs method of putting it back together. While waiting for that to come in, I buttoned everything back up nice and tight (as tight as I could with a rusty clamp), and went on my way.
Now, when I accelerate from a stop at low RPMs, I have a pretty nasty rattle\creak. Here's some quick videos of it. I thought it was just due to the rusty clamp, but after getting the new replacement, doing the aforementioned Diggs method install with muffler sealant, double checking everything is tightened up again, I'm still having the rattle\creaking.
Any ideas of what to check?
