Hey I recently installed dc sports headers and the stillen true dual exhaust with stock cats. car sounds amazing but here is the problem. the exhaust was laying and putting pressure on the crossmember under the center of the car. I called stillen and all they said was that on thier cars they took it out. I didnt think that was a wise decision so I put spacers under it and it fixed my problem, sort-of. After a few days I began hearing another rattle and found out that on idle it would rattle on the sway bar. I then spaced the swaybar on both sides about 1/4 of an inch and it fixed my idle rattle. but now, when i hit bumps in the road the exhaust again hits the crossmember. Im looking for advice on what to do next being as I already called stillen and they really couldnt help me. Do I take the crossmember completly out, space it farther, or just beat the crap out of the exhaust because its frustrating me so much. any advice is appreciated thanks.

 

With exhaust components such as high-flow catalytic converters, the cross member will not fit. Mine has been off for sometime now.

 

what is the crossmember?

 

I'm not sure how the Stillen exhaust is configured but if you have hangers on the mid-pipe, you can bend it to move it up away from the cross-member.

 

are you talking about the "W" looking thing?



Its common to shim it... also.. before boltind down the exhaust... have it held up and it wont sag down as much...
