So my single exit CPE Cat back is rattling against the chrome tips on the rear fascia.

I have tried in the past to loosen the clamps and move the pipes around. I duno if I am a weakling or what but those things just wont budge at all. Keep in mind I am doing this on the ground. But I have a good grip on the things. I don't feel up in the air would help that much...

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue. It wasn't perfect in the past but I don't understand how it moved like this after being on the car for 8 months but it has and its super annoying.


Any help is appreciated.
 
there is some flat sheet metal above the tip, parallel to the rear bumper.... bang/cut/twist that out of the way
 
Loosen the exhaust joints. Get a long screwdriver and pry against the differential while tightening the exhaust joints back up. Where you pry depends on where it is rattling. That's what I had to do to my Corksport exhaust and it hasn't rattled since. Note that it may take an extra hand under the car to pry while you tighten.

The Differential???
 
Mine was contacting on the undercarriage right in front of the rear differential, so that's where I was prying against.
