    tapping on bottom passenger side/ help please.

    Hey all, I have had this nasty tapping sound of like 2 metals shacking together, almost sence i got it back in Dec.. of 2006. Well it's like on the bottom front side of the passenger, like under the engine or front right tire. it sounds nasty like when i accel.. around 2.5 rpm's and gets louder till it switches gear and does it again. if i accel.. real fast u can't hear it, only when driving normal, well it's not loud only when i have something next to me to echo the swound back, and thats when i can really hear it, the walls are the worse. well i went under the car and hit or shake the ex.. pipe, it sounds almost like. the wrose is when i hit it it at that little box on the ex..pipe that is in between the front tire on the TOD, hope u guys know what i'm talking about. anayways My Mach.. told me I prob.. need new Ex. pipes. and the same with my father in law, they both know alot about cars, but u all are pros with VX's so I NEED your help. like all u know i'm new here but getting alot of knowledge cuz of u guys, ty . So what do u guys think it could be?

    OHHHHH by the way, the person that used to own this VX lived in Verg.. and moved to daytona beach. so its been in alot of salt, so u can just pic.. how bad this VX ex...pipes look.

    Get out your cardboard, crawl under, wiggle the exhaust system, & LOOK...

    you'll most likely find a rusted through heat shield doing the rattling.

    Rattle

    Sounds like a loose baffle in your catalytic converter. Have it checked.

    i had a loose heat shield and took it off but no it was not the problem. but the caty.. converter thing, when i hit it, it make a nasty metal noise. do u guys think thats the problem? I can't stand the sound any longer, sounds like a POS right now lol. I'm just hoping it's not the engine. but most deff.. I hit the Catly..Conv.. and it makes a load crappy noise.
