My PSE Mufflers gone bad - Baffles gone I think?

Hi there


My PSE on my 997.1 C2S sounds like a rattly bean can when cold in the morning, sounds rattly, raspy and horrible. I've been told by several who have heard it the baffles have gone or come loose in the left hand side baffle.

Is it possible to repair this?
Can the baffles be welded back in place?

Or what about removing the baffles?


This is not my car, but the rattle is like this, though worse:-

So was it the baffles which went in your then?

Did you not consider opening up the mufflers and removing the baffles?

Nope, didn't care.

Traded the car in on a GT3, they are someone else's problem now.
