Default Exhaust Problem

Anyone had problems with the standard exhaust hitting the rear shock?

I have a metal to metal sound when pulling off and expecting its that

Thanks

have a look under the car. You should be able to spot marks on the exhaust system if its the case. Have you checked your exhaust rubbers to see if they have perished? You can always get some nice new ones to reduce exhaust movement.

No rear shocks on saxos mate. Jack the back up and give it a good wobble - as long as your ears work you should be able to hear where its coming from.
Only thing metal anywhere near the backbox is the axle.

Check the bolts are all done up tight - I put my exhaust on in a rush and the bolts rattle in the clamps at certain revs sounding very metallic.


You 100% it's exhaust? everything on these rattles!
