I had a rattle with the ECS downpipe but realized I put the clamps on wrong. There's a piece between the clip that has a H shape and I fit it together wrong. Maybe check If you did the same?

Can you listen to mine and see if your car sounded similar? ECS is yet to respond.

Check the clamp and see if it looks like this. The H shape thing in the middle.

So did you completely omit the H-shaped piece? Not sure how else you could disassemble that incorrectly

I just had it flipped 90 degrees so it would wiggle side to side

Gotcha. I see how that could cause the noise. Mine is installed correctly so I guess I have another source of noise.

Hey guys,

New to this forum, A very annoying noise has popped up on my GTI today and it seems to be coming from somewhere under the driver side seat / engine bay. Here's the link to the video. It sounds like metal hitting metal. Here's a video of it. Hope you can hear it.
