car has started to make a funny noise it seems to be coming from the front o/s of the engine only makes the noise when i go above 2.5k revs, the noise is kinda raspy,like metal flaping. not the exhaust as just had a full s/s system and the noise was there prior before the new system.
any ideas what it could be before i book it in with the garage????

could be a heat shield if its a rattly noise. considering youve just had an exhaust fitted this would be the first thing to check

you have a x16xe.... expect it mate.
my x14xe is a rattely bugger at about 3k
try reving the car very very gently and see if it make a sound i dought it will.
seems to only do it under load.... i canny figure out why they do it i think its a resenence issue.
