QLD Posted 29/11/06 05:45 AM Share Posted 29/11/06 05:45 AM Hey guys,My 03 auto T has an awful rattle when sitting in drive. It sounds like the whole exhaust is rusty and about to fall off.The rattle isn't as bad when in park or nuetral. Does anyone know what it is, and how to fix it? I'm out of warranty and am hoping its something its just something loose I can fix myself.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30688-exhaust-rattle-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was removed some time ago and its all good nowyeah they go around the exhaust from the cat back. I think they are held on by a few clamps Edited 29/11/06 06:01 AM by revheadrobbo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30688-exhaust-rattle-help/#findComment-470186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
