Mufflers
Has anyone ever have the baffles come loose inside the muffler? If they have, what kind of noise does it make? Im starting to get a rattling noise from one of my mufflersand was wondering what it could be.

My stock muffler started rattling in my 95 GMC and then about a day later I lost a ton of power, baffle must have closed off the muffler big time. That was a good reason to get a cat back system.

Used to have the older turbo mufflers do that. They would make popping noises like a big loud old fashioned oil can.
