    Hi guys, noticed recently that I have a rattle/buzz that seems to be getting worse coming from the back passanger side of the car.
    I thought maybe it could be a baffle gone in the exhaust but not too great with that stuff so could do with a second opinion. If it's a baffle I'll just wait till it does my head in enough to get a new bb, but has anyone else had a similar noise?
    Seems to be when I back off the accel and let the revs drop.
    Thanks a bunch
    Rob

    Sounds like the baffle in the silencer to me if it's when you are backing off, I had that problem with my standard exhaust and had to get a new one.

    Also as it could well be the exhaust touching the underside of the car somewhere. Grab tail pipe and wiggle it, listen for it touching car.

    Sounds like the same thing to me mate, does it get worse at certain points in the revs? If I'm letting the revs drop is has like 3-4 seconds at about 3000 revs that it seems to do it real bad
