lie under the car and just bash the back box or centre box with your hand, you'll hear it rattle if they are loose....

Had this problem on Fayes old cab was told it was the exhaust rattling when I brought it of her turned out to be the baffle common on mongoose/scorpion exhausts as it's thin shit metal and not a stainless baffle needless to say I needed a new back bock which I had a custom full stainless supplied and fitted £200 3' bore

Probably get a decent stainless back box for this too tbh as I keep thinking about a 4" tip rather then the 3" thats currently on it but must resist as too many other more important things need doing

Is that just on the overrun/off throttle?
