   Hey guys,
   
   The car has recently had a saxsport fitted and been lowered (Shit job) 50F / 80-100R.
   
   Since this has been done the car has developed a Metal on Metal vibrating noise under the handbrake area of the car. I was wondering if anyone knew what this was before i attempt to tackle it.
   
   My first thoughts were The exaust system (Dummy Cat) bouncing against the heat shield under the car. It only happens at certain times and is not constantly vibrating.
   
   Any ideas so i can get it sorted?

   I'd suggest going under the car and seeing if you can see anything lose or anything catching to create the noise.
   
   Look near the downpipe where the exhaust attaches to the gearbox, bolts couuld be lose there causing vibrations.
