Well this morning I've gone to work and the car was good no rattles from the exhaust, right after work when I start the car I hear this rattle so I stop and check the tips if they are tight, one was loose so I tought that it was just the bolt that was loose and I will tight it tonight.
Tonight I check and the bolt is not there anymore, its the allen bolt on the exhaust tips, what would you guys do ? Can I get it welded ?

Yeah thats a pretty common problem with Magnaflow tips. Take one of the set screws out of the other side, run to the hardware store and pick up some more set screws and thread locker. Adjust the tips back to where you want them, put thread locker on all the set screws and you should be good. This is what I did.

Well I just remembered that the other bolt is stuck there, does anybody knows the size of the allen bolt ? I'll try it again this morning to see if I can get it off but I'm pretty sure that its not going to work lol.
