suspension question

I have finished my exhaust install, and I am getting a rattling underneath. I don't think that I have my factory cross bars under the motor spaced down far enough. anyone know if there will be any issues driving the car for a day without them installed? it's the 2 cross bars that bolt across the frame under the tranny/motor. one has 2 bolts, one has 3.
I don't see an issue as long as you don't corner like your auto-xing..
any thoughts?

It'll reduce the handling. Look into an aftermarket lower arm bar - some are designed to work with aftermarket exhausts, and you will maintain or enhance handling characteristics.

It's not a big deal.

not looking to do long term, just for a day to see if that's where the slight rattle is coming from....
cusco I believe makes a set of bars that will clear anything aftermarket, but I think all I need are some larger spacers for the factory bars. I am currently using 2 washers for each bolt. have a friend with a cnc machine that can make me some spacers
