My 1987 D Toyota Starlet 1.0 12 valve GL has rather an annoying problem: at a certain amount of revs in each gear the exhaust emits a sort of tinkling/vibration noise. The noise isn't that loud, but I am perplexed because the front section of the exhaust has obviously been recently replaced, and the back box and silencer seem to be in reasonable condition (i.e. not showing much rust). The car was MOT'd only a month ago, so I'm sure there's no holes/ leaks in the system. This leads me to believe the vibration noise could be caused by a loose clip/hinge on some part of the exhaust system???
I'm reluctant to get the back box replaced if it isn't totally necessary, because being as there aren't many Starlets of this ilk left it would cost more than what the car's worth (i.e. over £100).
Your thoughts on what could be causing this noise would be very much appreciated, Rob.
