Noisy engine (almost like diesel) Tractor (solved)

[pickles]

engines starting to sound like a tractor. sure its mostly when cold.
To shed some light on the matter, my exhaust hasnt been fixed to the centre bracket for some time  .  Im thinking the vibrations and knocking about etc i may have upset the turbo in someway.
turbo to exhaust joint/gasket seems fine.
exhaust doesnt apear to be leaking either so im thinking its the manifold between turbo and the engine.
Can any1 tell me what this part is called, seen load off manifolds but with T25 flanges, these are for Garret turbos r they not

nothing like that at all m8, no codes, i reckon with the vibrations n stuff with it not being fixed properly has maybe f**ked a gasket or somethin

was the joint between turbo and downpipe, forgot i had a bolt  that i just could not tighten due to not having a universal joint, had another bash at it but failed lol, smothered it with exhaust paste for now, seems to be holding . touch wood, really need to get it tightened up
