I had my B-pipe installed today with my Tein. On my way home I noticed a banging-type noise that seems to be coming from below my car. It only happens when I am starting in first and giving it a little gas while letting off the clutch. Any thoughts, besides take it in?

 

Could be many things....

Check the cross brace maybe? Is the pipe hanging low enough to touch it? Or maybe a hanger is loose? How is the fitment of the b-pipe? Does it twist other exhaust components around at all?

 

When I installed my B-pipe there was constant banging. I found that it was the heatshield and just bent it away from the pipe to make more clearance. Just get under the car and shake the hell out of your exhaust. If it looks like it comes close to any part of the heat shield that may be the culprit.

 

That is how I tested mine for fitment issues. Just move it up and down and side to side to see if it hits anything. Adjust accordingly. It might be hitting the passenger side of the gas tank also.

 

I guess that's the best way to find out...

 

Thanks...wiggled it and it is banging something. I will have to get under later tonight and bend stuff.
