My CLK 55 has a rattle under the passenger side front seat or there abouts. I am told it is a cat converter that can be removed and left out.
I initially thought it was a heat shield, but when you tap the mid box you hear the rattle. The CLK exhaust system splits at this point under the car and goes into 2 boxes with Cats, before going on down the car to the back boxes.
Has anybody else experienced this rattle, or removed cats with no ongoing issues, such as turning the engine light on, or failing the MOT?
