Kiiinda frustrated.
Experiencing the same thing. I will take it back to the shop to have it adjusted.

Lemme know how the shop does. My rattling has gotten *progressively* worse...really, really unhappy with it. But, again, will jack the car up and retighten thangs and see if that helps. (And then take to a shop maybe, if need be.)

Check the heat sheilds under the car. This exhaust rattles everything. The shields above the resonators, the one above the passenger side muffler(had a stone in there that would not come out ). Also, it rattled my licence plate. Dynamat and dynapad in the hatch area and it is finally good.

I'm not hearing a rattle like that, it's more like a thud on low RPM's and idle. I'm pretty sure it's touching the cross member.

Thanks for sharing! I really love this exhaust, I hope in my case it is something simple too.

I dealt with Alex @ ARK, great guy. I ordered my exhaust when I left work and by the time I got home I had tracking info, It showed up at least 3 days before I expected, packaged very well with nothing damaged. I installed on a Thursday night after work and it was a little more involved than I had expected. It was day 6 of owning the Z and my first time getting it off the ground. I jacked it up and put ramps under the rear wheels and that took a while in itself... It was a total of 2 hours to get it up and the old stock exhaust off. Another 2 to install my ARK. I used my legs to hold the pipes up while I tightened bolts and I am happy with my fitment and so far no problems at all with any vibrations. So this job can definitely be done by yourself if I can do it in one shot with skittle adjusting at the time l. Sounds perfect and looks amazing. I also got the burnt mufflers and was sceptical at first... But I had never seen them and I love original things and having a stand out part. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Hopefully I'll get around to a full review soon, but I just wanted to say that after almost 2 weeks of driving with this exhaust, it is incredible. Spending a lot more money at the pump because I can't keep my foot off the gas. The sound is perfect, and I don't use that word too often...
