    recently baught a rolled out kam racing back box then gota 2nd hand str8 threw pipe wich for some reason sat low to the floor. anyway today my brand new hoffman race pipe came all fis nicely accept the fact it VIBRATES/RATTLES on the body of my car which is exremely annoying and noticable. why is this? is it because my center exhaut rubber is stretched allowing the exhaust to have abit of play? Also it doesnt seem to be very loud but i think thats simply because i have a stanard mani atm. help required many thanks

    Are you sure the clamps are on tight?
    Heat shield is intact?

    May have broken some of the heat shield bolts, I'm going with that.

    under the fronts seats?

    it will be catching on the gear stick/gear linkages garuantee it.

    loosen the bolts off and fiddle with the exhaust, twisting it around till it no longer catches.

    either that or the centre hanger is wobble side to side and hitting the body where the bend is half way down

    ive had both these problems on my cars

    its the only trouble with aftermarket parts.

    the best fitted exhaust ive ever had was the supersprint 2" system, fitted perfectly!
