caused because of more air flow, but take it back if its custom and tell them to make sure its sturdy, ou dont want something to fall due to the VIBS

it will vibrate a lot more, but not necessarily rattle...

take it wherever you had it installed and make em fix it

When i installed my midpipe most of my vibration came from a bolt that holds the heatshield... check that...
I shaved the thread so that there is nothing sticking past the nut

no, he is saying to tighten and secure it so it doesn't shake, rattle or vibrate.

in my case the resonator was right up on the threads that extend pass the nut, so i just took off my midpipe and shaved the threads just so the nut had enough to grab onto and there isn't any thread that passes the nut and it took care of everything... every now and then it hits the nut but its only on big bumps. (my explanation is kinda eh... but you should get it)

You could always just buy slightly longer rubber hangers

the heat shield is the big silver piece right above the midpipe. its in between the exhaust and the bottom of the car. Its like 5 bolts. Its more towards the rear before the rear axle and muffler

uhm im. not entirely sure..i doubt it cause it curves up around the pipe and its on both sides. I took it off with the mid pipe off. by the way, what exhaust do you have?

yeah i have the megan drift spec catback connected to the megan s pipe. I'd just disconnect the mid pipe from the greddy and mid pipe and leave those 2 on then take the shield off and then just stick the mid pipe back in

OK HERE. THAT LITTLE METAL PIECE UNDER THE CAR that is supposed to hold up the exhaust in case it came unbolted (wtf).....take that off. It won't rattle anymore. That's what I did with my skunk2 exhaust. No more rattles.
