[color=#000000:post_uid11]Hey guys,
Got a problem with a part of my exhaust :( Im hearing rattling noises everytime i rev the engine or load it up with the aircon ???
It sounds like its coming from the [b:post_uid11]CAT CONVERTER[/b:post_uid11] but i had it checked last week and he said it was fine :cool: *Is it possible its the shield around the cat converter?? has this happened to any of yous??
Got rego coming up very soon,want to get it sorted quick as :p

* *Cheers :)[/color:post_uid11]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]the heat shield on the curved bit just after the manifold on my old exhaust was cracked and used to rattle like a bitch!

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I read some article on Steven's website www.323f.net about the clamps that hold up the heat shield an become a bit loose after some kms. This might explain the rattlin'. I think their recommendation was to replace it with some hose clamps from the hardware store

Hope this helps

Cheers

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Could be the brackets to hold the exhaust. Well, that's what I was told when my Laser started doing that.[/color:post_uid0]
