K Karl Guest Dec 15, 2010 #6 Hi Paul, What engine is the Brav? There are a few mounting points on the Exhaust.. One - on the back box Two - the section just in front of the real n/s wheel Three - near mid section These are all rubber mounts and i would no expect these to just come loose unless one or more have perished.. There is also a change that the heat plate that covers the manifold has come loose.. Now dependent on what enigne you could have a plate that bolts underneath the engine which holds the down pipe in place... Check all of these and report back.. Chances are it'll be a heat gaurd somewhere, also check the one on the CAT as this tends to rust on its weld points and rattles like hell when loose. **** ****

OP OP P Paul Guest Dec 15, 2010 #7 Cheers for the replies, it is a 1.6 100 SX 2001. The exhaust is also quite wobbly so could it be that meaning that the bushes are gone?
