Richparry2009 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Got a rattle when in first and second gear really - can't hear anything past them anyway, is it common for maybe a metal exhaust cover or something could do this if loose? It's 2003 zed so expect the odd rattle now and again! Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siman350z Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Probably Heat shields on the cats- large jubilee clip is the cheap option (and lasts years) although second hand standard cats are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Heat shields, it was the rear one on mine that rattled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Also check heat shield on y-pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yep mine rattled too so I cut them off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustie Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Can just take them off, there only really for cats and what not if they go under your car so they don't get burned. Some people just use heat tape to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedon Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I traced my rattle (more of a rasp actually) to the inner perforated liner in one of the the tail pipes on the exhaust. I needed someone to rev the engine to hear it though - it didn't vibrate at idle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I've got something similar going on. i'll have to check mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Driver Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have a rattle at complete idle when warmed up- disappears at 1k rpm.. likely to be the same? Sounds like it's coming from underneath across from the front wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
