I just got done and took it out for a test drive. The car sounds so agressive. I love it. I do have a rattling noise under ther car. I am not sure what it is but im about to go back under the car to check it out. Anyone hae this problem or know what it could be? PLease help! Thanks

 

ok i just got under the car and bent the driverside heatsheild. I coundt bend it much but i will find out soon enough. Anyone else may have had this problem let me know what you did. thanks

 

I think the heat shield is usually the problem. Most peple do as you did and just bend it back so it doesn't touch.

 

well i just got back and i think i bent it to much cause now there s another sound kinda like a buzzing sound. If i cant find it i guess i will have to take it in.

 

Did you install them yourself? If so, how hard was it? I've got some Helix Test pipes and some RT cats just sitting here. I haven't decided which to install yet. I'm not sure if I want to try and install them myslelf or just get a shop to do it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I did my kinetix cats on ramps-- It was no doubt more of a bastard than I was anticipating. I'm fairly handy with tools and do a lot of work on my car myself, and I was still a bit challenged---- It was just the space available versus bad angles versus crappy universal joints, etc. All in all it took me a few hours- my existing bolts were quite rusted (damn NE winters) and I had a bad universal joint---- If doing the job yourself, make certain you have enough socket extenders, universal joints and beer for the aches and pains when your done!!
Good Luck

the install wasnt all that bad. I did it in about an hour. The only problem i had was finding an extention long enough to get to two of the bolts. I had to pop the hood and loosen it from the top. Now if i can only get rid of the unwanted noise i will be happy.
