   I've got a T reg saxo and theres this thing hanging off from near to the exhaust pipe, the only way I can describe it is that it looks like space suit material kind of tin foil-ish? If any one knows what its called, would be very grateful! Thanks
   
   Apologies for the poor description, I know very little about cars!

    Cheers guys, thanks for the help.. If you've had something similar and taken it off, I might follow suit and look into getting a replacement for it in the future then..
