Exhaust Rattle
« on: 15 June 2009, 12:15 »
Hey guys,

Think my exhaust heat shielding is rattling. Is it easy to remove it? I need to do it soon because its bloody annoying!

Any guides anywhere? couldnt find anything on here :(

Cheers,

Dec

Which one is it? The backbox one? Or the manifold? or the cat?

I had mine removed when the exhaust came off. I dont think its hard to get off. Stick it up on axel stands and have a look would be your best bet. More than likely come off with a little tug. lol
