Exhaust Rattle..?

[Mr OCD]

Working my way through the niggles on the Cupra whilst I'm servicing it and whilst blipping the throttle to check for air leaks and the like (well it sounds nice ) I notice a rattle when the car comes back down through the revs (2000-3000rpm) ...

Now it sounds like heat shield rattle to me as its rather rattly / metallic ... so where are the main heat shields on the car and has anyone had this problem before who can point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Scott

check around the cat.

also the bracket for the centre box in prone to failing, as is the join between middle and back box.

Cheers... it had a brand new OE middle section / rear section fitted about 8k miles ago so shouldnt be any issue with it. I'll check it all anyway and specifically the CAT headshield.

one of mine has a rattle on the exhaust but if you gently lift it with your foot it stops so i'm think it's my bracket...?
