JCW Exhaust knocking

After getting the works kit fitted I start to notice a rattling sound from the exhaust, more noticable when starting the car up. I decided to jack the car up and have a look for myself, if it was from inside the back box or elsewhere. On inspection I found the 2 brackets on the backbox where knocking of the heat shield.

to fit the problem I got some heat proof rubber pipe to prevent this happening, so far so good. thought I would let people no of this cure if they have had this problem.

photos will be up soon.
