Installed the H&S 5" TBE on saturday. The downpipe is awful close to the frame, maybe 1/8"-1/4". The hanger clamp was also pretty close. I thought it was just the hange clamp bumping the frame, so I trimmed the corner of it and reinstalled and problem is still there.

I know its tight, but did anyone else have this issue? I am so disgusted right now. I love dumping money into somethign and then being unhappy with the result.

any help is appreciated.

Get underneath with it running and try and locate the source. Get a pry bar and apply "some" pressure in different areas and see if it stops. Gotta locate before you fix it.

I'll give that a try, the problem is it is only doing it when its in Drive, and its not all the time.

Hopefully its an easy fix.

If it happens when you drive it, try and locate any contact points where metal on metal rubs.

Thats what I thought I took care of.
There doesn't seem to be any metal on metal rubbing....from the sound/feel of it, its barely vibrating up against something.

I'll take a look when i leave work. I dno't have much patience lately. If this thing knows whats good for it....it will self heal!

Make sure its not rubbing the trans coolant lines under there.

No signs of rubbing there. Have bene keeping an eye on those.

i had the same problem with mine! it felt like a vibration when i would drive it was the exhast hitting teh frame when the motor torqued over i took a torch and pry bar and a lil elbow grease and mines fine now

Where was yours rubbing? Was it the Downpipe vibrating against the frame?

Are the clamps seated correctly and tightened enough?

Seated and Tight!

I had a issue with a vibration it was the pipe touching the rear shock so I just loosened the bolt and reajusted the piping. good luck

I looked at the shock too, not even close. I paid especially close attention, cause I didn't want that pipe banging up my Fox 2.0!

Gotcha. I'm going to take care of that today. Thanks!

Alright. I heated it up at lunch, and dimpled the pipe a bit, and all is now good. All it took was a bit of heat and some pry bar action, and then I took a nice long vibe and rattle free ride.

Now I can start enjoying the exhaust instead of dreading the vibes!:woot::beer
