Exhaust hitting after LT installation I got me some Pacesetter ceramic coated LT's and the ORY. After I installed them which took about 4 and a half hours, I drove it down the road and the exhaust is hitting everywhere. Anyone have the same issues. I am waiting to get some more oxygen so I can heat them up and fix the problem. Unless anyone has an easier solution. It seems to be hitting on the driver floorboard, the crossmember and the over the axle pipe is now hitting on the tank.
Some performance shops on the net sell a Mufflex bump stop hanger type setup. I've been told it only fits 4" pipe, tho...
Ah... Found it...

Verdad Gallardo The Y needs to be cut and re welded. One of these days when I get some extra cash, I go down to an EXH shop and have them work some magic on it...

I was plagued with the same problem after getting pacesetters LTs and ORY pipe. Exhaust was thumping even worse after installing high flow cats. Got some Prothane motor mounts installed and that solved the problem. They definately hold the motor, headers, and tranny in place. Gear shifter hardly even moves under load now.
I just put headers on and it rattled alittle too, but I did not use a ORY, I went tsp, it did hit and I automatically put it back on the lift, I pryed and tweeked alittle and put it back down and it seemed to be fine, But when I had my buddy drive it I got down and looked at it, the headers and whole exhaust was shaking like I had a cam in it. I knew right then something else was wrong so I put it back on the lift and looked over everything, come to find out I did not put a spark plug wire all the way on and it was not connected, allowing one of the plugs to miss fire, once I fixed that I had no more problems with the exhaust.
