i have to problems...

1. does any body know how to make the brakes sqeaking on the tc. its driving my crazy having a new car and the brakes are ******* sqeaking


and 2. i installed a 3inch cat back and when ppl are in the back seat or i have something in the trunk it tends to rattle, the pipe, because theres not enough clearance for it.
do i have to take it down to i 2.5 inch

thanks

 

1. get the brakes hot, nothing really else to do we all have it yea it does suck

2. you can try bending the hangers more to bring the exhaust up worked for me

 

thanks. this may sound crazy but do i go to a muffler shop and say i need my hangers bent because theres no clearance and its vibrating on something???

 

yeah that works just tell them to give more clearance between the rear torsion bar and exhaust

 

thanks so much. hopefully they can do that before i go to work in the morning. any idea how how that would take?

does that invovle alot of work?

 

It took the guys at Clear Image Auto like 5 mins to get mine fixed

 

I noticed this morning that when backing up and putting the brakes on, as the car starts to slow the rear disc brakes make one hell of a vibrating sound that I guarantee is being amplified by my muffler. This is only the case if the brakes are wet and have been sitting for a while (at least in my experience) and once I got them warmed up (as was suggested above) the noise went away. I may need to result to wearing ear plugs when I leave for work in the morning because the first time I heard it I nearly **** myself 'cause it scared the ehll out of me .

 

thanks for the advise guys i got that taken care of and it feels/ rides like a new car lmao

 

my dads brakes squeak too.

 

excellent glad i could help

 

My brakes squealed at very low speeds in the summer after the first thousand miles. I have not heard any noise from them during the winter except when first moving the car after being parked. The parking brake leaves residue on the rear discs and gets stuck until the car moves and brakes the bond. Sometimes it takes a while for the residue to wear off before my brakes feel normal. Also, when it rains the rotors get residue all over and I have to press the brake pedal very hard to stop even at slow (<10mph) speeds. I think it is a trade-off and consequence of having a semi-race performance braking system. These pads and rotors must be absolutely clean and warmed up to function properly and perform.

 

If the stock pads on tthe TC are ceramic they will squeal.
Its a trade off for better brake preformance but if you use it for a daily driver you could switch to a semi metallic pad but then you get alot of brake dust on the rims.
