haha i was just about to post something on this i installed my skunk2 today using a full lift everything when well and the exhaust sounds AMAZING i get home decide to go get a bite to eat with some buddys and its making a crazy amount of noise cant wait till 2maro to try and figure it all out ill keep u posted on what happens... also any1 know what would happen if u take off the heat shield... could it cause damage?

 

arizona I sent you a PM about your exhaust...And if you wanna install an exhaust, just jack up one side of the car like i did. Works like a charm. But yeah, arizona, that's the resonator hitting that little support bar

 

hey silverstreak thanks for all your help! thats what i love about this forum everyone just helps everyone out and fast too im sure i could have just jacked that car up on one side like silver said however having a friend who owns a shop with a lift is really nice i never had to even bend over haha

 

Trust me. I installed 2 exhaust on 2 TC's. My friend's I jacked up from the back...nononono that killed me when I was bolting up the midpipe to the stock one. I just installed mine by tilting it to one side. A lot easier. And yeah, that's why we have the forums on here. Through all the sarcasm and mean words exchanged, most of us learn and help alike.

 

I just did my Megan midpipe by tilting it to the side... worked pretty good. I have no rattles comming from under the car, i tightened everything with air tools. I DO notice i have tone rattles inside the car.. at about 2800 rpm's my sun shades ratttle, 3000k something in the hatch rattles... its annoying, but nothing from under the car, tighten up everything... it shouldnt hit anything, mine doesnt.

 

and nothing happend to ur pipes or anything?

 

yeah it could be heatshield. i doubt i took mine off. but its probly the black bar underneath the car the bolts on two side. it hits that. mine did we bent it down more. fixed it

 

if u take off the heat shield it wont cause any damage ?

 

maybe in the long run lol but so far i havent had anything

 

you may notice warmth comming up from your floor boards, could melt the carpet on the bottom.. i've seen that happen before. The midpipe really shouldnt be hitting anything unless you put it in upside down? is that even possible?

 

not really cause the hangars would be hitting the heat shield and wouldnt be able to go into the rubber hangars, well for mine at least

 

any suggestions whether or not to take off the heat shield ? the more the better .

 

did u ever take that little bar off or no?

 

i just took off the bar today no rattle no problems everythings great and i didnt take off the heat shield

 

nice nice. i noticed that bar was touching my mid pipe while i was installing so i just took it off then

 

also if anyone wants this exhaust i can get it for you new for 425 just pm me

 

arizona, you prolly already know this. but the skunk2 exhausts have the resonator right by that black support street-sign-post-looking thingy.
