well i installed the full helix exhaust with the test pipe and its awsome i put the mechanical cel fix in and have had no cel or anything i love the sound and what not but when i get to about 3500-4000 rpm and hold it thier it rattles right under the center console and its pretty loud and good rattle at first i didnt have the hangers that came with the ehaust on thier i kept the stock ones well i changed those out and its still slightly doing it not as bad but still thier ...
the only thing i can think of is i have the DP 2 tight or not tight enough anyone know how tight it should be cranked down since it still uses the stock spring bolts....
also the tip of the exhaust gets pretty close to the bumper is this normal? thanks ahead of time
IF I GET EXHAUST WRAP AND WRAP THE DP WILL IT STOP THE RATTLE?

Welcome to the rattle club. I got the kartboy bushings and they didn't help. They actually made it worse. I am going to try to heat them up to allow it to drop more but I haven't found a fix yet.
its not that bad lol and its the center console mainly almost like i have 3 screws in the console rolling around.

I believe it's the heat shield that's rattling against the floor of the car. I get the same small rattle. If you crawl under your car and rattle the heat shield right above the cat, it is not held down very well at all. It's free to move a lot and rattle around.
ok well i would like to get this rattle solved now its gotten to me lol
do you think if i heat wrap the dp it will solve it also how tight or loose are the spring bolts supposed to be in? thanks for the help!
