PSE Help
Please help! I purchased a used set of PSE cans, and when they arrived, they sound like there is a lot of metal shavings rattling inside them. Are they shot, is this just the beginning of the end, or are they ok? The seller has indicated that they sounded great on his car, and recommends that I install them to see how they sound. I know it is not much to install them, but I am in a cold area, so it will be a bit more of a project. One actually sounds like it has a larger "chunk" inside.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

rattle = rusted inside and parts loose (not always, but ussually)
There have neen a few people cut the cans open, clean out the crap, re-weld the loose pieces and weld back the access cover they cut out with good success... if you have access to that type of a person and can get it done it might be worth it depending on how much you are in them.
Also "just arrived" contact the seller, re-read the sales ad, see if he misrepresented them and/or will accept a return/refund

Thanks guys. I decided to go ahead and install them (seller was ok with this) to see if the sound was affected and it was. I do not think the "light sand" sound when I shook them was causing the issue because one of the cans sounded fine. The other was horrible. Ed, I think you are right, It sounded like something broke loose inside, so I will be returning them this week. I am very bummed out as I have wanted pse since I bought the car.

If you elect to do the fix - it is pretty simple. I did it and created this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...al-repair.html

Thanks for posting the link, I forgot where it was... great write up....
Sorry about the PSE not working out. As you know I found a set of 3.6 stock cans for cheap and did the PSE Hack mod, then swaped my cans and sold the 3.4 stock cans came out costing me very little other than some time and lunch for my welder friend
Keep looking, I should have a new video of my car soon (we had a fun day and some video shot from both cars) I hope there are some good sound clips to post !! - I will put them up if/when I get them
