So a few weeks back, I finally installed my ART pipes that I've had sitting for months.
Anyway, when remounting the stock cross brace for the cats/test pipes, we had to force the mounting holes on the brace to line up properly with the mounting tabs on the ART pipes. The right pipe was pretty close, but the left one was off by about a half inch. We got it to fit though.
Ever since, when I take off in 1st gear pretty aggressively, I get a rather loud creaking sound coming from the bottom of the car, heard through the floor. I'm guessing it has to do with that cross brace, being a bit "torqued" so to speak and the movement of the engine on launch.
Anybody else experience this with their ART pipes or any other test pipes that use mounting tabs and that cross brace? If so, did you do anything to stop it?
It's really quite annoying.
