    Sweet, thanks! I look forward to hopefully hearing that it was easy. Cheers.

    It requires some effort (jack up front etc.), might ask a mechanic to check it out given they should be able to do it in like 10seconds.

    Had mine checked out and it is actaully the baffles in the Remus rear muffler, Arrghhhh!. Also discovered that the 4 rotors need replacing! I wish had been as simple as a heat shield.

    Found that it wasn't the heat shield or the baffles in the rear muffler! It was the brace in the middle of the car (just past the CAT), the rubber on the brace had perished. Replaced that and it is sweet...free too! Thanks to the mob in Belconnen for that!

    I totally knew it wasnt too much trouble!! I was feeling a bit guilty after hearing it was the baffles... but glad to hear its just a crappy rubber!
