Re the warranty, I was told that the factory take the view that anything other than factory Stage 1 exhausts will invalidate the warranty. I would have gone for G56 exhausts otherwise myself. The G56 ones are definitely less noisy than the AR Motorsport ones (which took some getting used to but which I do like).Whichever ones you go for, you won’t regret the better performance they bring.
Shaun, this is with the AR Stage 1 exhaust. I was testing the new tyres and the rattle that persists and gets a bit worse.

Sounds like your steering column cowl may be vibrating.Try pushing upwards on the steering wheel as you're driving, i.e. towards the sky. Does the rattle go away or change? If so, the problem may be a loose quick-release fitting. Remove the steering wheel, place a small piece of masking tape over the end of the steering column spline and refit the steering wheel. This is a good way to eliminate play in the QR fitting and might just tell you something!
