i had a full de-cat exhaust on 6 months ago, and have had no problem. i drove the car 170 miles to a holiday resort left the car parked up for two days, and started it today. the sound is not there when the car has been started, as it idle at high revs, but as the revs start to lower this rattle noise comes.

ive checked the rubbers all seem good and aslo tryed to move exhaust while it is started but sound still there. is it safe to drive 170 miles back home? or what eles could i check thanks

Sounds like something knocking/rubbing rather than a serious mechanical issue. I wonder if some silly sod shoved some pebbles in to the tail pipe!!??

 

lol hope not seems funny that it happens on low idel but when reved at steadey 2ooorpm it goes away

 

What was the outcome?
