leebottrill Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) My car has slowly developed this strange noise. Its from the exhaust. It happens when i take off. The exhaust (or somewhere at the back) makes a kind of metallic clattering noise. The best way to describe it is its like there are a few stones tapping against the exhaust. Once i'm driving the noise goes. I'm thinking something loose around the exhaust. Heat shield? I don't think its anything major, but its becoming slightly annoying Edited June 19, 2015 by leebottrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Have you had a look to see if anything is loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I would have suggested the cats possibly starting to break down, as the Internals come away. However the baffles in the rear box could be shot worst scenario both of which could present this issue of thinking of something within the system. If you have access to a ramp, or go to an exhaust fitting centre then this would be easier to diagnose. Hope its something needing a tweak or a tighten.

Toon Chris Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Start with the easy stuff and assume its a heat shield. They all fall off eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
