Yaris exhaust noise

mad m

Started to hear this metal against metal noise when Yaris is idling. It seems to be coming from end of exhaust, it's like as if a metal ball is inside the back box where fumes come out of exhaust.

I reckon it's going to get worse. Is it a big job?

It could be the back box has fallen apart to bits inside or the heat shield has come lose and is coming in contact with the exhaust.

Put it up and check that the exhaust itself is not loose.

Possibly a mounting rubber failed, or a U-clamp loose

Is it like a long, loud, wet fart when accelerating?

I got underneath last night, gave it a good tug and all seemed ok, but if I hit back box its as if there is something loose inside of it. When driving car you cant really hear it unless car is stopped or I suppose idling.

What year is it? It is possible of course that something have come loose inside and is rattling around.
