installing exhaust today

No panic yet. We played around with it quite a bit on install day. My mechanic suggested a slight adjustment in that top bend because there's plenty of room to other side. We'll see how they look Thursday. Thanks Mike.EcoPowerParts said:I emailed Paul, he stated to loosen bolts and adjust, we haven't ran into this before. If that doesn't work we'll make a new pipe, coat it and send it out.
For now dimple the existing pipe of the bolts being adjusted doesn't work.

I've got my DP in (LMS catted) and they are rattling in there just a little. What can I do to get it to stop. I can only hear it when I'm on it at 1/3 or more on the throttle. It's annoying when it happens. I don't have a lift so I am not sure where they are rattling from yet.
It sounds to me that you have used the oem bolts to connect to the midpipe and clearly the LME DP dont come with upgraded bolts correct? because my PPE catted DP came with bigger bolts which gave it a more secure fit,also need to re-torque those bad boys after a while due to the heat expansion,another note would put some grease around the hangers that hold the DP AND EXHAUST,its very hard to track down a rattle that transfers,BTW were you able to get new gaskets X4. BTW after installing two sets of DP and a Corsa exhaust these little thing truely do matter,best of luck and keep us updated and pics below for comparison. Z Figured be nice to help out a fellow member with all my available inputs and feedback. Z
Thanks for that, I bought used, I wonder if PPE will sell me those bolts...ZSHO said:It sounds to me that you have used the oem bolts to connect to the midpipe and clearly the LME DP dont come with upgraded bolts correct? because my PPE catted DP came with bigger bolts which gave it a more secure fit,also need to re-torque those bad boys after a while due to the heat expansion,another note would put some grease around the hangers that hold the DP AND EXHAUST,its very hard to track down a rattle that transfers,BTW were you able to get new gaskets X4.

Jagerbomb... The pics in this post of my install might give you some ideas of things to check even though these are PPE:

I appreciate all the help guys! Yes I did get my gaskets and that solved my leak. The flange on the DP was just not perfectly flat. But, the 2 gasket trick solved it. I'll report back when I learn something new or different. I did get bolts with mine. The oem ones shown in the next post don't come out.
Mike B is really cool like that,probablt get them for free,pics below of my original DP with 3k on them,check out the bolts on them.

Or try Paul Prentiss at PPE in Tempe, AZ if that doesn't work.ZSHO said:Mike B is really cool like that,probablt get them for free,pics below of my original DP with 3k on them,check out the bolts on them.

I would try to eliminate the exhaust out of the equation,sometimes you can have tiny little rocks lodged between the exhaust pipes which is a fairly common issue and causes a rattle,overall grab a rubber mallet and gently hit the bottom side of the exhaust,small section at a time to check for any noises,also humid weather can play a role in it,or especially a sudden drop in temperature.
