Hi,

My MINI Cooper S (2003) has developed a rattle which is coming from the flexible joint at the bottom of the exhaust manifold.

I have been told that this item can not be repaired and the only solution is to replace the whole exhaust manifold.

Can anyone offer any other ideas / solutions?

Thanks

Hi,

Is the exhaust actually loose on yours?, i have a rattly exhaust too but it appears one of the stirrups is broken, this should be replaceable though

hi,
thanks for the replies...
When you say you have used ones... do you mean used manifolds or just the flexible joint......

Can you PM me with ideas of costs and supply and fitting.

Cheers
