At the moment when I go round corners etc (and sometimes when im stationary) I get a rattling noise.

Im pretty sure its the exhaust rattling on the rear bumper, as if you push it with your hand it hits it very easily.

I had a look last night and the back box seems to help on with some rubber bung/grommit type things. They seem to stetch quite a lot wihch in turn lets the exhaust move.

Can you get stiffer ones of these so that it wont move? Or is there another way of fixing it?

I think its adjustable and it could be knocking on the rear axle rather than the bumper

i had this problem with my standard exhaust....could be rattling against your springs like mine. Otherwise use tight rubber mounts. They're cheap as chips

get some old suspension rubbers and put them inside the exhauster rubbers this will stiffen the exhaust rubber

and... if you look behind the bumper by the tail pipe, you'll see that the back box rubber mounts are retained in place by four small sping clips on the ends of the pegs, I've fixed one rattle just by rotating the clip closest to the bodyshell so it stopped hitting it

Ive sorted it much cheaper than that

Ive put a sticky fix between the exhaust and bumper, took it for a spin and the noise has gone!

It was the back bumper after all

sassy I think you can get a corrugated flexible metal pipe that can be bent to shape you'll have to cut out the curved section of existing pipe though then clamp on flexi pipe at each end
