[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 15879540, member: 184279"] As I said, your very first sentence is the biggest clue. You say the noise started immediately after you changed the pipe. So the focus of your investigation needs to be on anything and everything associated with that job. I've been fixing cars for almost 50 years now. I had two service stations back in the 70's and 80's. I've seen a lot of weird things. Maybe you dropped a nut or bolt down into the pipe and it's in there rattling around. Perhaps you inadvertently moved something else while doing the pipe swap. Maybe you forgot to tighten a clamp. Maybe a clamp has two bolts and you only tightened one. Basically just retrace your steps through the whole job. Maybe put the car on lift, and run it to create the noise, while someone is down below to see if they can pinpoint the location of the rattle.
