Zed devil Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey all, I recently did a thread about my exhaust rattling between 1000-2000rpm. After checking all bolts, heat shields and if anything is touching (up to the end of the HFC cats), I'm not 100% if it is the exhaust. Therefore I have started a new thread but provided more info. Noise: VERY loud metal - metal rattling/vibration Location: front end of car/engine bay When: between 1000-1750 rpm Gears: all forward gears Stationary: doesn't happen with clutch in or out Mods: Y pipe without flexi, lightweight flywheel clutch, berks HFC's. I've checked the exhaust system and can't see anything touching or loose (up to end of cats) I have read similar threads but most seem to be exhaust related. Numerous people have mentioned the y pipe without flexi's but many people have these and don't experience the same problem. Hopefully this has given a better idea of the situation and may have been experienced by others. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 That's the lightened flywheel causing that. It's normal for a lightweight flywheels to do this. It's like a metal chatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed devil Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Why the hell would anyone fit them if it makes that racket? :puzzled: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 As most people who fit them generally drive spirited and revs are generally above 2000rpm the benefits out way the negatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Try a twin plate clutch on a lightened flywheel then yours will sound like it's purring trust me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
