MAM mid pipe user Q

[QCMSP]

I have install the MAM mid pipe this week-end. I like it but It's touching the body (sound like a ratle) when I go WOT. Any body have any idea to solve this probleme ???

what's it rattling against? you may want to get some kartboy exhaust hanger bushings. you could always bend the hangers too.

Where's the sound comin from? If it's coming from beneath your feet, the midpipe is banging against the heat shield. Either pound the heat shield out so it's higher and wider or bend the bars on the exhaust so it rides a little lower...

If it's coming from the tail of the car, it's probably rubbing the bumper. Get some zip-ties or clamps and tie/clamp the hangers in place so the muffler doesn't sway from side-to-side.

It's not a heat shild sound. The mid pipe touch the ''cross fram'' . The pipe is too low.

I had to bend the hangers a bit and used hose clamps to compress the stock hangers to keep it from sagging. Later on kartboy hangers fixed the problem, but added vibration. I think the hose clamps worked the best

thats a really common problem with the MAM midpipes

they rub the crossmember.. I had that problem too. Kartboy exhaust hangers kinda fix it.. wont rub AS bad.. still rubs..

you need to take it into an exhaust shop and have them bend the hangers

MAM mid pipe is piece of crap !! To solve the problem a I have to cut it and do another pipe with a small bend in it and keep the oem flange working b/c the flex is too far from the engine. The flex need to be as close as possible of the engine but IT's look like MAM don't know that. Each time the pipe touch the fram the exaust manifold have a hard time b/c it's straigh from the engine. Kartboy exhaust hangers probably fix the probleme of touching the cossmember but the exaust manifold still in problem. I don't need to broke my MSP manifold now.

the flex section is fine where it is. i don't even have one on mine, just a front motor mount to keep things from moving about too much.

02 sensor position

On the MAM Midpipe, did you guys connect the 02 sensor? If you did where, and how did you guys do it. Thankx

Mine fitted like absolute crap when I first got it. SPD Racing was able to cut it apart and re-weld it correctly.

mine hit the crossmember, then I added Kartboy hangers, then my tip melted my bumper at the track. Vibrates quite a bit too, it also has a leak in the weld ahead of the flex pipe (flame2)

 

[yashooa]

Damn, now I don't feel so bad about my 50$ ghetto mid-pipe.
It vibrates at 1800 and 3800RPM but it is definitely a heat shield noise.
Glad I didn't waste 139$ on the MAM because I was going to buy one to get rid of this noise.

i just ordered a MAM downpipe mild steel catted...what can i expect when i go to install it? is it going to be damaging the car at all if its rubbing against something? am i gonna need to change something or take it somewhere to get fixed? thanks alot.

 

[QCMSP]

mine is cat less. I don't know how the pipe with cat fit but I have a good Idea ...think about a trip to a local muffler shop to solve the some prob. To avoid to break youre exaust manif keep the join with spring working (OEM one )
