Well thanks for the info guys. I took it to my dad after work and sure enough it's what I was thinking from the beginning. My Y pipe wasn't bolted to my mid pipe and I had like half an inch gap between them. We went ahead and bolted it up and it sounds so clean now, and since back pressure has been restored it feels so much better.

I guess the Y pipe isn't reversible or whatever but mine didn't have a huge burn mark on the right flex part before, and now it does. I assumed my dad had flipped it over by accident when he reinstalled it, but I guess not.

Trying to figure out if it's because of the lack of hangers, or my gaskets are just that messed up.
Yeah the Helix v2's come with hangers and the install was quite tedious and laying upside down on your back for a long time is not good for the blood circulation. I got no rattle at all. I read somewhere that you have to make sure that you torque the o2 sensor to the correct specs or else you will get rattle.

Edit: Just read your above post. Good thing you got a dad to help out with things.

Trent, yes it fixed the hesitating too.

Bishoy and Tony yes it's nice and I do help with the work. Only reason I don't do it myself at the shop is bc it's an obvious liability. Seriously if ya'll need help, let me know.

Im guessing if u drive super aggressive in auto-x or something u might scrape some. Ask scrape king aka bradley. Hes real low on 18s and tons of track time.
