just go to local tire and exhaust place, they'll sort it probably won't even charge you, they didn't charge me. its like mentioned above the exhaust will just need turning slightly to give it a little more clearance or you could cable tie a pillow to the rear beam. | |

Just take one of your exhaust rubbers off and then take it to halfrauds or somthing and then see if they have any that are smaller so that it pulls the exhaust closer higher. also if its rubbing on the rear beam get a piece of thick rubber and put it over the top of the beam and cable tie each side on tight, that worked for me | |

I used powerflex exhaust mounts and it stopped the movement | |

Jack the rear of the car up, you will probably find that the exhaust is very close to a piece of metal, possibly the rear beam. | |

Exhaust rubbers can be purchased from any motor factors like Unipart or something. They shouldnt be much money. | |

If turning the clamp upside down doesn't help then you could always cut up an old bike tire and cable tie it to the beam without obstructing the handbrake cable. I did this to mine and it's been fine for years lol | |

loosen the clamp above the rear beam and turn it so the bolts are facing away from the beam. | |

check under the car to see how stiff the exhaust is mounted, the rubber mounts may well be fucked and letting the exhaust move too much. Typically I think the rattle comes from banging on the rear beam. | |
