Failed its MOT because they wouldn't run an emissions test because of the rattle.
Eh?That aside - to be blunt, no offence no obligation to know anything about cars - what you or your mate thinks very evidently really counts for very little at all.
Best get a proper explanation as to why the car failed its MOT and then take it to a garage to look into this properly. Your guesswork can only make things far more expensive and generally uselessly so.

Legit just asked if you know the name of the pipe. If you don't then no need to commentThat aside - to be blunt, no offence no obligation to know anything about cars - what you or your mate thinks very evidently really counts for very little at all.

They didn't want to rev it high for the emissions because the noise sounded so bad they thought it might blow up!? have you/him heard anything untoward to date......it sound serious for a MOT station to refuse to test.
Can't see that pipe is never going to cause that? (does it rattle from cold? if so hold this and see if the rattle tone changes if you put pressure in various directions - my guess is it doesn't).
The only thing you could do easily is listen to it jacked up, or with the front hanging off a curb etc (get down on the floor), also does the clutch being down change the noise. It's all clutching <sic> at straws but if you can narrow it down to an area others could advise more easily.
Is the rattle in sync with the engine revs
Louder underneath or on top? Front or back?
Clutch operation does it make any difference to the noise

Yeah I thought that might be the case. Well thank you all for the input.
The rattling is completely random, it rattles sometimes when you start up the engine, then it'll stop rattling 5 seconds later when idling
Depressing the clutch makes no difference to the rattle when it is happening, just some days it is worse than others.
Its louder from above the car too.
