Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

If they are fine then check the exhaust heat shields they also tend to rattle at low revs as the bolts/nuts holding them on tend to rust as well.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have a vibration coming from my exhaust at low revs. Once you put your foot on the gas it is fine. Can anybody help? Sounds like it is coming from the tips.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I had that problem the 'tip' was chattering on the exhaust pipe. there is a nut that is visible underneath through the chrome end tip........ you could slacken it tap the 'tip' forward and retighten it........trouble is the top of that 'bolt' is shielded and so if you go to tighten it and it pulls the top nut from its welds it will just turn and not tighten..............my solution drop into my local exhaust shop first thing Saturday morning they just put 4 tiny spot welds in through the front ...."pipe to 'tip'....having first tapped the 'tip' forward so that it doesn't chatter off the exhuast pipe itself.......they put a quick squirt of black exhaust paint on them....and they can be 'ground' off simply with trusty angle grinder should the need arise!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers, I was hoping that it was going to be soomething simple. Well I hope I have not spoken too soon, but I think it sounds like that would be the propblem.

POST 5Original post

Some time ago, I reversed too close to an earth bank and nudged one of the exhaust tips. That provoked a rattle at about 3,000 rpm. It turned out that my tips had a support strut leading back to a clamp on one of the exhaust pipes. The strut had become detached from the tip and was rattling against it. So the OPC just undid the clamp and took the strut off. Problem solved ... no adverse effect!
