09+ Ralliart Ultimate Racing Catback Exhaust Install Question
So I recently purchase a UR catback exhaust for my 2012 RA. I ran into a couple problems was hoping someone else either has install the exhaust or ran into similar problems when installing other exhaust and hopefully help me. So pretty much everything about installing this exhaust was easy and fit right in where old exhaust was until I got to the long and straight exhaust pipe that connected to the cat. The flange that meets up with cat flange had some issues. Firstly the heat shield around cat had small lip and prevented the two flanges from connecting. Second even after I trimmed away some of the heat shield lip to get a good fit there was a third problem. The bolts went in snug and so I thought everything tight start her up did and her rattling the bolts were tight but, somehow the gasket in between the pipe and cats pipe still rattling. I used a impact gun and got bolt tight as can be. So right now kinda stumped on the issue any suggestions or idea's?

The OEM flange and the new one are probably different thickness...
You may need shorter (shank) bolts or need to add washers...
Remove the nut and see if you can see thread all the way up the bolt to the flange...
If not - add washers and torque it down. Can see at least two threads protruding from the nut when tight?
If not - TO THE HARDWARE STORE! Ensure you get good grade bolts and nuts (and use anti-seize on the bolts). Get zinc plated (not just common steel which will rust) hardware...
Pipe should fit tight and no rattles when done.

So I got the exhaust on. Just had to unbolt the heat shield a little and pry it apart to get the midpipe on instead of cutting away some of it and I reused the old bolts to the cat instead of the new ones from UR.
Does the exhaust get a little quieter over the course of a few days? Seems a lot louder than I was expecting.

Hate to revive an old thread, but I'm curious if this is a recurring issue with the ultimate racing exhaust? Really wanna get myself into the single exit for my ralliart, but with all these rattling issues and heat shield problems I've become weary if someone can shed some light on this, it'd be much appreciated.
