Rattle....help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So after i installd my loudmouth exhaust i started to hear this rattiling noise coming from under the rear pasenger seat....but it was only when i was stopped like at a light...as soon as i moved or put it in neutral the rattle would stop. I also noticed that it did it alot more as it got colder outside....is this normal and I just have to get used too it or is there somthing wrong?? I figured maybe the catback was hitting the axel but it looks like its clearing fine....any thoughts???...please this drives me and my friends fuking crazy at stoplights!!

yes, like i was saying, your I-pipe is likely banging on the stock tunnel brace, which is the black piece of metal pictured above. if it sounds like a vibration/rattle and it happens when you're coming to a stop, accelerating VERY slowly (we're talking 0-5 mph) and gets a LOT worse when you're at a cold start and starts to go away once you warm up, this is your problem. again, get your car up on a lift, loosen the I-pipe clamp, lift the I-pipe up an inch, retighten the clamp, make sure the I-pipe clears the tunnel brace by an half an inch or an inch and you should be vibration free.

Blknight6989: If this is the source of your problem, another quick fix (in addition to what has been mentioned) is to throw a few washers between the floor and the brace.
dpw41285: The clearance (gap between the BMR tunnel brace and the bottom of the car) is around an inch greater. Problem is, it is now the lowest point of your vehicle, so if you're lowered like me, it scrapes everywhere.
For the record, I removed mine.
