Rattling noise on Saxo VTR

2nd July 2018, 00:22

Hi everyone,

Have a rattling noise that we cant seem to find, when accelerating our new project, PH2 Saco VTR VTR, We year a noise that sounds like a metallic rattle, almost like a loose heat shield.

We checked the heat shield on the manifold, it's on there good and tight. Is there anything else that could be causing the rattle?

Probably the exhaust at the rear hitting the torsion bars.

OR the rear hangar on the exhaust at the end of the exhaust tunnel, there's another exhaust hangar there. If the exhaust isn't aligned perfect the hangar on the exhaust taps on the tunnel and it's really loud.

On further inspection, it defo sounds exhausty... and defo from the middle, when stationary or moving when clutch is depressed it makes the rattle noise.
