Any one have any banging issues with the 3" system and a RSB? I have the Progress, and the mounting bracket sits very close to the exhaust, and when over bumps... it goes bang. Had a picture on my old phone, but it died-ed. I can snap another one. Got polyurethane bushings waiting to go in, but didn't know if anyone else is in the same boat.

I used muffler clamps around my bushings that the hangers sit in. You have to snug them up and do some fine tuning but eventually i got it to stop banging and got the tips perfectly alighned. This is the only pic i have that shows the way the clamps go. I did all of them but the rear ones on the muffler will stop the exhaust movement all together. Just be sure not to pull the muffler to close to the bumper while snugging the clamps or it will melt it. Ask me how i know Good luck Z
