Default Help!

Ok so I just got my pacesetter lt's and y pipe on, and the y pipe keeps rubbing up against the crossmember and its making that really obnoxious vibrating/rubbing noise. What do I do to make this go away?! I cant stand it and I feel like its pure slop.

Thanks!

Pacesetters are notorious for that problem. Almost every set I've installed does it.

Most of the time, you'll need to get a hammer and beat in the floor right there on the driver's side where it rubs. Try loosening the clamps and readjusting the pipes. They also make an exhaust clamp thats got rubber grommets that sit on the floor and keep the pipe secure, but it still transfer a little bit of noise and vibration.

It can be remedied. Just takes some adjusting.

Cool, I might have to go with that.

Thanks
