did search but still confused about my injen exhaut rattling after install
Hey everyone, the site is back up and lookin awsome i must say fist, but now the question. ive searched many forums and found many ways to try to fix my issue but we played with the pipes a whole lot and i dont think without the addition of new hangers i can get this exhaust to stop vibrating.... For all of you that have had the injen exhaust how did you go about fixing the rattling issue??? Ive seen that you need to get another L bracket and put it on the side that doesnt have it..... As of right now i think all my fitment issues are on the drivers side, passanger side pipe seems fine, i dont think it is vibrating. All of the vibrating started after it was off the lift so i havent physically seen where it is hitting but at low speeds, slowing down, and at a stop my exhaust rattles like a B*tch becuase its hitting that brace in the rear. Im brining it in early this morning to try to fix it but im gonna check this post before i go and during our attempt to fix it..... My L bracket now is currently on the passenger side and the exhaust fits fine on that side, i have part numbers for an additional L bracket that when used on the other side suposidly fixes the issue, but than maybe i need spacerS??? if anyone has had this problem, please let me know exactly how you fixed it, im so pleased with the exhaust i just need this thing to stop rattling, thanks so much, feel free to post here or PM me with what you did, im open to all suggestions, thanks a bunch!!!! Later - chuck

Fixed it today, martin (IllG35) was with me the whole day too, he had his car in infiniti fixing some stuff up and my shop is right there.... I wound up putting the spacers in on each side of the cross member, heated up and bent the pipe near the cat so it didnt touch the bottom of the car, flipped the bracket around on the left to pull the exhaust up more, and than heated up and bent the bar the rubber sits on to help it clear the differential, easy to do, but shouldnt be necc. on an expensive exhaust.

well, to all future Injen owners, I have found out the problem and came up with a very easy fix (and I recommended it to Injen already) - all we did was construct a new hanger for the driver's side - we basically took a 1/2" thick, 2"x4" (approx.) piece of flat steel and then welded the cylinder piece that actually holds the hanger directly onto the end of it so that it is perfectly horizontal (ie not L-shaped with a 90* downturn)... I'll try to post some pics so you can see what I did and the end result...
I still have no idea why they sent new brackets for the passenger side and NOT the driver's side - WTF were they thinking?
