Hey Sleeper question for you. When you hit bumps can you hear your Stainless Works Tips hit the rear valance? Mine seem to bounce quite a bit when I hit a bigger bump.

Haven't had that happen. I have them pretty centered which leaves about a 1/2" or so between the tips and valance. Are you sure it's the tips and not vibration from the pipes hitting something under the car? (Spare tire housing, axle, chassis support bar, etc.) I have a 1" spacer between the chassis support bar and the body.

It could be coming from under the car more. It's hard to say I really need to get someone to watch it when I hit a big bump. But to me it sounds like metal hitting plastic its not a metal on metal sound. I have about the same 1/2" between the tips and valance too. The one thing I have noticed is there is quite a bit of play on the tips. Can move them around pretty easy. Kind of wondering if the hangers are not clamping properly. Think I just need to get it back up on the rack and check all the hangers.
Great to see more folks putting this exhaust system on. I think it's one of the best sounding systems that I have heard on the 5.0.
