Please don’t say, take it off lol.
It must be there for a reason. Mine rattles like a rattle snake, what’s the best method for fixing it.
I thought that a tack weld would promote rust on the manifold.

Mine has a jubilee clip one end, and an exhaust clamp the other.
When it did rattle it was an awful vibration/rattle combi that could easily send you round the bend.

I can't tell you, you asked us not to say.

Hooray! Now you'll never end up like me, staying home over Christmas / new year because you thought your engine had developed some terrible kind of bearing rattle.
