    Can someone please tell me what this does

    Obviously part of the exhaust for a reason, but what does it do?

    If it is restrictive to the exhaust flow, does it need to be there at all ?
    Also, do these things have a tendancy to rattle, as I have an exhaust( not engine), type rattle.

    thanks for any info..

    Its a flex joint so the engine movement (eg vibrations etc) don't crack the exhaust. Graeme has found a solution to the restriction.

    it also stops the exhaust from snapping the turbo in the event of a rear end prang or side impact wrenching the pipework around.

    The rattle could well be the Turbo heat shield. There is a metal bracket underneath the can break...
