Default the virtual end all to trunk rattle, (after using my previous method)

I have found a way to eliminate a major part of trunk rattle, here are the pics: (Taking pics right now) be back in 5 min

the rusty part in the pic is the main reason for trunk rattle. Not exactly sure what it is for, I have some ideas, but I have removed mine.

Use a 10mm socket to unscrew it

jam away, with almost no rattle at all( that is after using my bunjee cord thing also)

That is a harmonic resonator, It changes the interior sounds.

well after i took it off, i found it was just a hunk of metal and the sides where it is held on by its surround was broken. it was basically just dangling in there

and what do you mean by "it changes interior sounds"

The accord was for a an older market, whom get mad about rattle and shit, so they use big blocks of rubber to change the resonase of the vibration that come from the road and other inputs.
