hi guys cars got a rattle at the back sounds like the exhaust the cars had a new system front to back, thought it might be the heat shield but dont think it is as there's very little movement on it and ive tapped it and doesnt rattle enough. Where the exhaust mounts to the car at the back not on the back box but just before theres a big metal hanger on the exhaust and its wedged in to a metal part of the car but no rubber mounting is there suppose to be a rubber mounting there?

Turns out its missing the exhaust rubber ring towards the middle of the exhaust and its been wedged in the bracket which is causing the vibration noise, ordered genuine one off ebay

Good job investigating! Do you have the part # by any chance? I may have same issue. Sounds like a duck call at the right resonance until the metal heats and expands??
