Check your heat shields still intact!
LOL, maybe you need to do a spacewalk and check the foam tiles.

I'm pretty positive I don't have one. Would a "driver" have had one fitted as standard or was it just the Gti's?

if the exhaust is rattling against the heatshield I suspect it's not in the right position (exhaust and/or heatshield).. have you tried bending the shield away?
