what did you do to fix it? just put the bolts in so that it tightened it up and re-sealed it or something?

I also fixed mine in the same manner except I used split washers to avoid the bolt becoming loose, and sealed the edges with tiger seal. It was a lot quiter but still sounded like crap :(

I have a 200 cell sports cat and its never failed an MOT with mine removed, it only pre warms the cat to prevent damage to it when starting from cold
