Rattle in my 2010 RT Spyder exhaust

Hi All", I have a rattle noise inside my standard muffler 2010 RT Spyder and I look at it in aboput 30 minutes, however any ideas or similar experiences would be much appreciated,

regards Peter

check all your clamps, found one loose on mine .could be baffles coming loose in muffler for $1100.00 i could listen to a little rattle

Hey Peter. Happened on my OEM muffler, too. Internal noise from a baffle or whatever is in there. Ended up finding a great price on an Akrapovic on eBay so I got it.

Don't know if you can get in there to find the problem. Many live with it till it totally goes many just replace them. Should be some around from all those folks that change to aftermarket pipes. Ebay has some cheap ones but don't know about shipping up to you. I sent mine to your area for $130.00 US shipping ....:yikes:

I'd check all of the bolts and clamps first. On a 2010 model they can come loose due to age. However, it's not uncommon for the internal welds to break loose on mufflers, especially since the underneath muffler is also a catalytic converter which makes it soak up way more heat than a standard muffler. If that's it, then it doesn't hurt anything, but it sure can be annoying.

I know The answer to your question if it sounds like pennies rattling in a tin can. If so I will answer this tomorrow as it is very late right now.

Ok, so it turned out to be a blown baffle on my 2010 RT

I wanted to stay with the stock muffler
as I had the chrome pieces I had paid
an arm and a leg for. So I checked
various dealerships to see if they had
a used one where someone else had
upgraded to a different muffler. And
who came through was PitBull
Powersports.( received for free) :yikes:
Cuz he likes me:yes:. And also Len
brought the muffler with him in 2014
to the Colorado Owners event, where
I picked it up and had installed when
I got back to California.







hope this helps and let us know what you end up doing.:thumbup:

My stock muffler has rattled for the past 20,000 miles. I just ignore it. 62,000 miles and going strong. Bruce

Hi Mate", this is what I ended up getting done. I got a Walker stainless steel muffler fitted and it sounds better than before, but not to loud. I got cat delete done too. Sorry about the late reply,
