does it sound like a contact rattling noise, like 2 metal pieces rattling against each other?
just have a look under neath with engine off. then look again with engine on.
the clip or bracket mite be touchin.

Take a look at the back box, you'll normally see a cleaner area where any contact has rubbed.

Mine was doin the exact same. It was the centre section touching on the underside of the car. Think it's cos my exhaust is way heavier than the standard one and pulled the centre section out of place. Take a gud look under the car while its running cold and move the exhaust around till the rattling stops. That's if it's the same problem as mine!!!!!!

i had the same problem with my car, turns out the back box had rusted away and the centre section had come off its rubbers and the flexi bit on the cat has snapped  not a cheap job to fix

i still got a knocking noise as the bastards at quick fit put a 1.2 16v centre on my 1.0 12v by accident, i took it back the next day and they put some cable ties around the rubber clips to pull it closer to the top of the under car. (wont be doin that again)
