first thing is to check for any loose heat shields and make sure exhaust is secure and not blowing also check for loose covers brackets on engine as for the prop missing must have been taken off due to a fault with vcu or worse IRD unit on back of gearbox not good idea to buy a vehicle that is not as designed if you decide to fit a prop at some time you must make sure all tyres are same size and of equal wear or you can damage VCU check all intercooler pipes for leaks /splits this can cause noise on acceleration
