Azid Member 213 Member For: 13y 8m 25d Posted 30/04/13 12:03 AM Share Posted 30/04/13 12:03 AM Hey guysJust a quick question: there seems to be a rattle of kinds coming from pretty much under drivers side seat. When I looked under there it seems to be wrapped in that tin sheety fire proofing stuff and not sure if that rattle is exhaust/cat on that sheeting? Has anyone experienced this annoying sound before? If so, any ways to fix it, can we get rid of the sheeting or make it tighter or something? New car and its seriously irritating lolCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84774-exhaust-rattle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it just bolt on or does it bolt up to exhaust like the turbo shield bolts to block? My old BA turbo didn't have sheeting around the exhaust can't imagine it would make much difference hey?
