michael Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 My car has developed an annoying metallic rattle on idle - having had it on ramps and checked heat shields etc I can only suspect it's coming from the baffle part of my Nur Spec - this is slightly 'compressed' as a result of it being dragged onto a car transporter when that silly sod drove into me. Is it possible that the baffle it loose and making this noise? I have no idea what the baffle construction is like but presume it's some form of loft insulation type stuff and something to hold it in place? If I get this removed is it likely to be really loud? I also seem to have a piece of undertray hanging down at the front of the car now too.... bah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Its only a metal baffle held in by bolts no packing etc. Take it out and give it a run.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the removable baffle thingy or the actual backbox? I think the backbox contains some insulation and a metal grille as you say. Don't know what hold the grille in though.

michael Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Sorry I wasn't very clear there was I I mean the baffle that forms part of the exhaust rather than the removable one (which I've never fitted) - the one that lives in the "far too close to the ground" section behind the backbox, there is a 'bulge'.
