Thats very odd. Maybe one of your mufflers has come loose inside the box

Sounds alot like my old car!!

Have you had a good check underneath?

I had a very similiar problem, and it was the backbox weld coming loose with the pipe, so it just rattled about.

Month old backbox, taken it to a local garage and Kwik-fit. Both said probably the box as they cant see anything else wrong.

Since i replaced my backbox i think i disturbed the centre section, now it rattles, quite annoying.

All the brackets are holding the exhaust correct, hmm.

It could be the heat shield above the exhaust or center
