Exhaust internal rattle

Recommended Posts

now one thing I am not so clued up on is exhausts.

This is a stock google image that is 99% similar to my current exhaust set up.

there is a metalic rattle noise if i bang on this part of the exhaust but the noise is only apparent when driving over bumpy roads. on a smooth surface it is perfectly quiet.

also rev's dont affect it at all.

the exhaust hanger bush and clamps all seem fine but while the car was on a hoist, we couldnt find any other issue except the noise when we banged on this section of the exhaust.

 

anyone have any clues about what it could be?

Wow, is that a stock exhaust? Are the cats hanging off the headers?

Either way, unbolt and drop the rear section and shake out whatever's in there... and hope it's not an exhaust valve! ;)

I'd like to think it won't be - otherwise the issues might be a little more than just a "rattle" ?
