Rattling exhaust

[Tigger93]

Hi all, thanks for your advice in advance.

My exhaust has started to make a very loud rattle when I come off power and engage the clutch, is this the exhaust baffles or the Cat?

Is it repairable or will I need a new exhaust, if so where can i source such an exhaust. I have had a quick look online but can not see anything.

Oh and the car is a Tiger E1 with a 2litre pinto.

Thanks.

have you checked all your mounts are in piece?

Mine did a similar thing especially on start up and the top exhaust mount had sheared. (fury, not 7esque)

Might be worth a look before disposing of exhausts?

I will have a look round all the mounts tomorrow, but pretty sure its coming from inside the exhaust silencer part.

Broken baffle is highly likely.
I doubt your Pinto has a Cat so it will just be in the silencer or a mount.
Tiger or ourselves can supply a replacement.

Well I've sorted the rattling exhaust, turned out to be the mounts and the rivets.

Bad news is I went for a drive and it's decided to break down! It's turning over but just won't fire up, I can smell the fuel going thru so it's not fuelling. Any ideas chaps..?
