ok, thanks for the advice. I will get a mechanic to check for loose heat shields. | |

If you had the full system replaced then Nothing inside it should be rattling | |

Just baffles me as it was fine before I had the exhaust replaced. What would come with the exhaust if it was replaced? does heat shields and cats come with the system. Sorry I don't know too much about this sort of thing | |

its not the kind of rattling of something moving around. Just sounds like something is rubbing or hitting against something | |

you wont feel if its gone, the stuff inside the cat breaks up and rattles around | |

When I feel the exhaust it feels solid and doesn't feel loose so it must be something beyond that then. Or even the manifold? | |

ye could be, thats the usual cause anyway unless theres a loose heatshield | |

Cat? it was ok when I bought it but the one that was on there blew so had it replaced and has been rattling since. Still think it could be the cat? | |

chuffed cat more than likely, stuff inside is rattling around | |

My Corsa sport was fitted with a factory standard sport exhaust box at a garage but it rattles when it warms up. I have taken it back to the garage but they can't seem to fix the problem. Does anyone have any ideas why it rattles when warmed up or has any experienced this before? |
