On my RX7 i've put in some exhaust baffles because it's quite ridiculously loud and my hearing is bad enough. The only problem with them is that they rattle quite badly - probably because they aren't a tight enough fit.

I'm not sure how I should fix this - they're strong enough that I can't tweak the edges to make it tighter so i'm trying to think of another solution - could I wrap the edge very tightly in some kind of gaffer tape to increase the girth ?

My only concern with this is that it'd probably melt quickly - any other ideas?
 
You could wrap them in exhaust repair tape maybe? Should stand up to the heat a bit better. Or could you weld them in place? I'm not sure how exhaust baffles fit tbh.
 
You put in some exhaust baffles? You don't mean those horrible power sapping "decibel killers" do you? Remove them, flatten them with a lump hammer and put in bin. Then either add an extra silencer into the system if enough room or get a quiter backbox.
