    Sounds like the guy who did your exhaust did a ****ty *** job. The guy i take mine to makes smooth *** weld is soo neat looking.

      hell yeah

      my borla is hitten all the time.. especially when i'm turning

      mostly it's the tips hitting the bumper because they're on the hangers, and move around a little

      a fix is to have more hangers welded on i guess.. and tighten everything very hard... it rattles loose

          Mickeys that isn't the tips. Do you know that adjustable bolt hole on the passenger side of the car near where the tip bolts on? Its the sharp corner of that thing rattling against the stock hangers. I put a piece of rubber on the stock hanger to stop the rattle.

            They relocated my stock hangers. They refused to make the exhaust too tight. Said it would send too many vibrations into the car, and the pipe could break if hung too tight. I have to make a real sharp corner to make it bump, and then it barely does it. My first aftermarket muffler banged like a mofo. I hear that a pair of ls1 hangers are better than ours though.

              I had my 3 inch installed at Meineke, the guy there did an excellent job. It doesnt hit anything and there are no leaks. Im sorry but it sounds like the guy may have goofed up the install.
