This thread pertains to 5th gen maximas with cali-spec ypipes. I realize that after install most of you experienced some sort of clanking noises.
My question to you is, along with the banging, did you experiance any major rubbing. Low RPM rubbing in first, or reverse that...well sounded and felt awfull (causeing vibrations)? I did and now that I have the bpipe cross member spaced about 3/4 of an inch, everything is peaches and cream. I am trying to figure out if my rubbing was unusual. It just seems to me that the VQ moves alot. I hope my motor mounts are not shot

Has anyone had their exhaust hung around the cat area?

 

I think MichaelAE had this problem before...something to do with the bracket/holder


try a search on the user name and ypipe.

 

I have an aftermarket exhuast as well as a Ypipe and a Testpipe and never got any noise whatsoever.
