    Default VY II Calais LS1

    Hi yall,

    I have two questions regarding my VY Calais:

    1: at low speeds and turning around a corner or roundabout I can hear a rattle coming from somewhere in or around the engine - not sure on exactly where - anyone know what it might be?

    2: what type and brand of headers do people recommend for a VY II Calais LS1 automatic?

    Could try checking the heat shield in the engine bay near the headers on the left hand side my mechanic fixed the one on my car a few years ago because he found it was loose..

    Regarding headers, there are heaps of threads on here about them so just run a search and have a read. I'd go for pacemaker personally.
