hello guys new to your site I have recently bought this car I went over a speed ramp I noticed a bit of a bang when I went over it now my cat has got a bit of a rattle to it the car still drives fine any advice anyone please

[danny_p]

if the cats ratteling  it didn't take to kindly to been welted by the speed bump  you can ether change it or leave it to develop or cure itself

its a savage speed ramp its more like a table ,would the rattle cure its self eventually then

I doubt it, if it is rattling it's because something is loose. My guess would be one of the hangers rattling on the heat shield.

theres no heat shield round the cat

I took a nasty knock when I first got my 1.8T  Lost the under engine cover and my exhaust took a big whack! F**CKING Speed bumps 
For a while every little bump caused a nasty knocking noise so took it to my mate who put it on ramp. Shook the exhaust and saw that one of the fixings had come lose which was making the knocking noise. 30seconds of welding later, all sorted!
