   hi guys, when im on full throttle everything is fine, but as soon as i let off the exhaust rattles really loud (originally thought it was my diff giving way but that ok), the rattle also happens when cornering left.
   
   had a quick look underneath and the only thing i can see is that the pipe is sat very close to the rear axle and also one of the brackets on the back box seems very very close to the shocker... exhaust is hanging on new rubbers

   Yea it tends to stop when you are at higher revs/going faster?

    thanks for this mate, mine is defo at the rear to, i think mine is either catching the rear axle or catching the rear shocker (back box bracket)

    mines the same, say full throttle in first/second and then let off? think it's standard on every stock saxo.
