Does it happen when you come off throttle?

is it on tickover ? when the engine is hot ?

[Peth]

I had somthing similar drove me nuts turned out to be a weld failure on the middle silencer the pipe through and the baffles were rattling like mad just above tickover and it sounder as if it was a heat shield.
Get it up on ramps and flex the pipe to see

its hard to exsplain it does,nt do it all the time and some times its done it when im holding the revs at say 2000rpm but it does,nt do it all the time it hasnt affected the cars performance it still like a rocket lol

When the engine is warm and i take the revs to 2000 on standstill and let the throttle go i hear a clincking noise from the exhaust it seems to be.

Seems alot of people have the same problem but it doesnt bother me.
