Default Corsa Exhaust Install, fixed rattle

Installed Corsa axel backs over the weekend. Had to loosen the bolts on the H pipe to swivel and work the alignment of the exhaust in the cut outs. This took the longest time and it was really helpful to have a buddy help out for the install because one of us had to stand back behind the car while the other ensured the correct alignment by swiveling the pipes and exhaust to get it right.

Everything went as plannedexcept a couple of days later I started picking up a rattle. It turned out to the be the hanger bracket tapping against the back of the bumper. You see as the exhause heats up it expands/grows up to 1/4 or 1/2 inch. The hanger bracket needed to be trimmed off so I took a Sawzall and trimmed it back about 1/2 inch. All is well now and the exhaust sounds awesome. It's a deeper rumble but tame sounding when crusing.When you step on the gas it really pipes up.I've seen heads turn from people walking alongsidethe road when I floor it - it's loud when it wants to be! No drone when cruising. Finally, it might just be my imagination but the car feels MUCH more responsive. They advertise 13 additional HP. I was skeptical before the install but it feels more responsive. Pics are included of my new setup and the exhaust hanger fix.

I picked mine up from Ninosport. Free shipping - they used FedEx and they arrived quickly in great condition (well packed).
