I've removed the heatshield that sits above the exhaust which protects the fuel tank. It rattled terribly so had to come off.
So I've been thinking of ways to protect the tank from the heat of the exhaust and decided on this option.





Used some heat wrap and some copper binder to hold in place.

Do you think this method will suffice or should I try something else ??


Thanks,
Matt.

Yep look a good job youve made of that, funny enough still to get around to looking at the heat shields on my own blobeye, one off them is rattling terribly like yours, not sure what causes them to rattle ?? do they just bolt on or what ?? car is a blobeye wrx.

Only if they are genuine ones and not the fake ones you find on eBay.

Typical! - have a look at the cat heat shield - assuming your car has one, if not could be the internals of a box failing - although you exhaust looks mint. Other things - turbo heat shield that was always a favourite for rattling at certain revs

Thanks Zohan. I'm going to investigate further this week, it appears to be coming from the rear of the car. I've removed the heat shield from above the back box so can't be that.
Bloody old cars hey, lol.

The Zohan

You are welcome worth checking the jack and tools are secured properly and nothing has fallen into the wheel well as well

No jack and tools in there buddy, all stripped out including every inch of sound deadening, which is probably why I can hear every bloody rattle, lol.
