A Few Pictures to Help With Your Test Pipe or High Flow Cat Install

Once I installed all my new pipes, the resonance makes it a lot more pronounced! It sounds like a metal bolt vibrating against the plastic or maybe even the metal . . .

Nice write up! Had mine installed as well the next day I got it (Friday). The shop I took it to did make some slight modifications for fitment/rattle issues. They said it looks fine when you first install them but once you start your engine up, it will rattle enough to slightly hit a portion of the car. After they did that, no more rattle.

There is a thread on this site that actually has a pretty good list of rattles & fixes that may help you out. Kind of lazy to look for it now but if you search for key word "rattle", I'm sure you'll find it.

what do you guys mean by rattle? Is it a constant rattle? Or an occasionally "popping" sound from the pipes hitting each other? I'm having this sound that sounds like a pipe is hitting another (usually at idle) but it only happens every few seconds. I had this when my car wast stock but it seemed to be a little bit louder now w/ my fuji...
You can't miss the loud obnoxious rattle . . . Although your Y pipe appears to have a little room at the flanges, once the engine revs or torques up a bit, the flange may smack against the car itself. It's not an occasional pop.

Not sure though if this is the same as what you guys were hearing. As far as the sound goes, it sounds fairly the same until you pounce on the gas. Then it'll sound like a totally different beast . At least, that is how it sounds like with my Fujitsubo setup. I do, however, noticed some droning at the higher rpm range when I attended a meet/drive in my area. But then again, we were WOT'ing everywhere 
. Overall review, I'd say it's a good mod with a noticable increase in HP/TQ. Sound is not intrusive depending on what exhaust setup you have.

I have the same exhaust you do and I am doing a header and Helix cat install next week. What RPM's did the droning start. Does it drone at steady highway speeds. Right now at 80MPH it's relatively quiet and tolerable so I want to know if that will be the case once the header/cats are on.
thanks
