Careful with this. Loud exhaust will occasionally **** off cops. With out the resonator, your exhaust will be significantly louder.

I have a rattle coming from underneath my car. I think it could be my cat? I don't know though. It happens when I'm idle &/or when I accelerate as well.

Did you get an aftermarket flex installed?

I had a similar issue. When I had the new flex installed, it ended up being a bit longer than stock. The cat was rattling around against something underneath the car, so I ended up having them put some extra braces on the exhaust to keep it from rattling so much.

I think mine was rattling against the front sway, but I don't remember.

lemme say i have the same issues? as all above i fixed it with changing the rubbers in between the hangers problem was that with the heavy exhaust it just stretched mine out so i bought new ones and hasnt done it since... try it its fairly cheap amd very easy

Check the heat shields if they're present.

it does **** off the cops, but in maryland as long as there is a cat, muffler and emissions are hooked up there isnt **** they can do.

I HAVENT NOTICED ANY POWER OR BOOST LOSS. HOWEVER WITH NO CAT AND NO RESINATOR IT DOES BACK FIRE ALOT MORE AND LOUDER. I LOVE IT
