Found out what it is that is rattling when I am driving the car. Its the metal cover that slides over the exhaust manifold.
Shown here

I have pushed it back on in the picture but it wont stay there for long. It just slides up and down and rattles. I assume its some kind of heatshield. Will it be missed if i take it off?

make sure to do it when the exhaust is hot as it will come off easier lmao
