Default HKS EXHAUST RESONATOR PROBLEM

My exhaust was rattling Thursday night and i found out that something is lose in the resonator, i have no idea how this happened and you can't really reach in there to see whats going on. the resonator is also clean no dents or anything. So does anyone have the resonator or know if there is something i can do.

i know its impossible to find someone who has just the resonator but i got to ask. And i just sent HKS an e-mail about it. let me know people

did you bottom out hard recently? i had the same problem after bottoming out real bad...come to find out the exhaust literally was in contact w/ the rest of the car hence the rattle at certain situations. ie downshifting or making certain turns...you just have to get under the car and bang out the exhaust to fix it

Seems to be a common HKS problem.


The culprit


The fix

I'm betting this is exactly what I am going to find when I crawl under my car this weekend.

^Do you have the same rattle with your HKS? Guess it really must be a common thing with the HKS. Never read about it before mine started rattling.
Guess resonators in general seem to come loose or something.
2 of my Megan racing test pipes have had the resonator come loose and rattle like crazy.
