i installed some ichiba test pipes and i get a loud virbation from the driver side. like right under my seat. what could the problem be? i made sure everything was tight and no leaks. i used brand new gaskets too.

 

When pressure builds, it causes it to vibrate against the heat shield. This is most likely what you hear. Some systems lower everything a bit, while others raise them. It seems like I've been through everyone of these scenarios with header,tp, and exhaust.

Try putting several wraps of heat wrap around the area to help. This will go a long ways but you might still tell it's there. It's not that bad though. You'll forget about it in due time. But try this, it works. This is the wonderful world of modification!

 

probably rasp or it could be rattling against your heat shields down there.

The Gimp seems to always be having some sort of exhaust related problems. Sorry Gimp.

 

^actually i took it to the shop today, the test pipe was rubbing on the head shield and melted into it LOL. he got if off and readjusted it all for 10 bux! its called RENE's Mufflers on pasadena off of the broadway exit on the 5. excellent work and crazy price =D. now the car is fine cept the rasp around 4k but i guess i gotta live with that.
