Default back box

i have recently been getting a rattling noise from my back box(scorpion)
i have been told that it is the baffles and the only way to remedy the problem is to cut open the back box take the baffles out then weld it back up

is there any other way of getting round this

cheers

you sure its in the back box mate??
only reason i ask is a rattle can transmit all over the car and be something totally different from what it initially seems, i thought i had a exhaust rattle on my s1 before took couple of hours to find, eventually found was the actuator bracket on the turbo had loosened itself off, just about to chuck the stainless in the bin to lol
just a thought though fella
