i might just do that and maybe a couple more brackets along the exhaust just to keep everything firmly in place

the rasp i can deal with its not to bad but the rattling is whats bothering me and its weird because its the loudess when i just start the car then goes away then comes back randomly

 

Took it once ..we looked and tried but did not have any luck!!! Have not had TIME.. And now going to Cali. for ten days to work..So like you I will take it back to the shop and see what can be done when I get back.It sucks!!! the only GOOD thing is hardly ever in 1st or 2nd or even 3rd...

 

i looked under the car today it looks like the rattle is comming from where the hfc connect to the x or y pipe whatever it is. I dont really know what to do there to fix that.

 

I know.. Been under there a couple times with guys that know what there doing and so far no LUCK!!

 

i had that problem when i installed my HFC on the FIexhaust ..

but thats cuz HFC are beasts ! and idle my car sounds like a danm boat..

but it doesnt bother me

 

the rattling like this is pretty annoying i dont think its normal makes the the car feel so cheap when it rattles

 

Update:

Well as I said earlier most of the rattling came from the mid pipe hitting the support brace under it.
Once remove the rattle there was gone but there was still a rattle comming from near the x pipe and hfc. Today I finnally had time to lift up the car and and check it out. I was goining to weld brackets on like berks but while under the car my guy started hitting around and found that the driver side o2 sensor was loose so we tightened it and started the car. Like magic the rattle was gone. To think all this frustration all this noise and embarassment when driving by people in a parking lot was due to an o2 sensor not tightened properly

 

Glad you got it fixed. Now post some vids so that we can hear that beast roar.

 

That makes me glad I went with my lil Megan Axle back over the magnaflow. sounds great and no rattle or complications.

 

it wasnt from the exhaust it was from the o2 sensor being loose. the mid pipes did sit kind of low but with the stock cats it wasnt a problem

 

i would but i have no camera. i might try with my blackberry camera but i dont think that is goin to come out so well

 

on a side note, totally off topic, the person who post after me on my 211th post i will send you $10 through paypal for absolutely no reason lol. money is money.

 

Good to hear it's all sorted out and it wasn't the exhaust itself after all. I'll keep an eye out for your 211th post

 

I have the same problem with my Berk and magnaflow. the rattle is horrible. im gonna throw the car up on the lift tomorrow to check it out. hopefully mine has the same simple problem as yours

 

Magnaflow + Berk HFC = major rasp..

Get a different catback
