Could be the mount inbetween the cat and front box. On mine I have a Magnex exhaust and it used to rattle at certain revs only and sometimes reverse. Though the Magnex mount is not a standard mount. The magnex uses a standard ford mount, off a cortina I think, and it's a right tight bitch to get on.

That mount doesn't do such a lot but doesn't take much wear before it starts knocking.

it will be at the back.. there is a hanger near the u bend on passenger side rear. wrap the mount in inner tube/gafer tape.

I had this on mine. I bought some of the polyeurathene(sp) exhaust rubber things from Rally Design.

There is a lot less give in these and they hols the exhaust alot tighter. I've had these on the car for 2 years now and have had no problems.

i tell thee, its the hanger next to the petrol tank back right thats the usual culprit.. wrap a length of inner tube around it and plasti tie it on.,..(tie wrap...)

the inner tube will work! make sure you use 2 reno u mounts on the passengerside bend, also you can get some industrial cable ties they dont melt and i have used these on the willy and my bro's 19 16v and they hold the hangers properly.
