Weird clanking noise from exhaust i think please help
 

Just got Stillen exhaust put in and I hear a clanking noise please help o yea the instruction said move silent damper from oem to new Stillen exhaust and the instruction mentioned that there is 4 silent damper but the mechainc said only 2 where found? does anyone have a picture of the silent damper. and also when i was parking my car i look out the passenger window and saw smoke is this normal?

Your passenger side window was smoking???

no not the window i just saw white smoke coming from that side out side the car

People have talked about a weird burning smell from non broken in engines, and most claim that its normal not sure about smoke though. Could be it, not sure.

maybe well ima see later ima go drive it again

I wonder if the exhaust is hitting the crossmember and making your clanking sound.

is it not suppose to? im not sure wat a cross member is ill ask the mechanic tom

just got back from the mechanic he didnt have time to see me today to many ppl does anyone have a picture of the cross member so i know wat im looking for. if it is hitting the cross member how do u fix it

If it's hitting the crossmember, you'll need to show this to your mechanic, see what he says, maybe have him call Stillen as well for further information about it, they may have recommendations on getting it to fit right.

The smoking thing is normal for newly-installed exhaust components for a brief time. You use an anti-seize paste on the bolts in the exhaust, and there will be some of it leftover exposed (on the exposed end-threads of the bolts, or on the bolt heads and flanges, etc), and it will slowly burn off and give a bit of smoke off. Should be gone after one good long drive, or a couple days of very short trips.

do u have a picture of the crossmember

which one is the cross member so i can point it out to the mechanic thats its not suppose to hit it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../under370z.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...under370z2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...under370z3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...under370z4.jpg

can someone draw an arrow on the picture and point out to me sorry im still learning parts and stuff

The wide black slightly shiny piece of metal going across on the left side of the 3rd picture. The exhaust makes a Y-shape just above and behind it.

the burning smell could be from a not yet broken in engine but the smoke i have no idea. i never had any smoke, just the smell

okay i took it back looks like im either gonna hit the cross member or the sway bar. to low i hit the cross member to high i hit the sway in back? what do i do
