Exhaust rattle (not a heat shield)
So I get this exhaust rattle at low rpms 5-600rpm at idle with engine at normal operating temp
I went to a garage, lifted the car. Removed 2 loose heatshields and the rattle was still present We managed to get rid of the sound by pulling downwards the 2 brackets that support the exhaust with rubber It seems like the sound is was coming from the inside of the car which doesn't seem to be damaged (no scratches or visible damage) It still does it but very slightly barely noticeable I refuse to think that the cat is dieing on me the car has only 60000miles Any suggestions? |

Haven't checked that out But the sound is more like metal
Like you would hit a glass with a spoon slightly :S Only does it when engine is at low rpm |

found the problem
it was the doughnut gasket right after the header it was so thin that it was vibrating at the connection where the 2 bolts with the springs are vibration was going trough all over the exhaust pipe |

The donut gasket is a common thing to go.
They're about $60 with spring kit at the dealer... vs $20 on eBay (search ExhaustDirect or exdperformance).
