Default how to fix loose exhaust tip on invidia?

One of the tips on my invidia is slightly loose and rattles a bit when starting from a stop, or at particular rpm ranges. It's an annoyance, but still I'd like to get it fixed. Anyone have this problem or have a solution?

I believe the tips of the Ti exhaust are riveted on...so its possible that the Ti tips themselvse are lose

I had the same problem. i paid invidia to send me a new b-pipe by paying for shipping to me and shipping of the exhaust that was rattling back to them. Kinda shitty having to pay shipping for a manufacturer's faulty product. Anyways, it is possible to re-rivet the tip into the can. Let me know if you need any more info.

yeah it's loose rivets. i've looked into it and it looks like about 2 of them are loose and have some play to them.

any idea how/where I can get this re-riveted or fixed in some other way?

You could weld the tip to the can, but it will not look as good as it did. An exhaust shop should be able to re-rivet the cans.

You could always drill out the rivets and replace them with larger ones.
