RE: Vibration after MRT axel back install...
OK, time for a confession....
I have a very bad habit od tightening everything up in sequence, rather than waiting until everything is connect. So last night I coudn't get the middle rubber matched up with the holes, since I already tightened up the right rubber. So I go and loosen the right rubber, match up the holes and tighten up the middle rubber, then tighten up the bottom screw on the right rubber. So during the tight while I was recapping everything I did, I didn't recall tightening the side screw on the right rubber.
Go out this AM, and BINGO, the side screw on the right rubber was so loose I could turn it with my hand. Tightened it up, vibration gone.
I also used the "bat trick" to get some extra space between the tip and the bumper. It did melt it a little bit last night, but I have at least a 1/4 inch clearance, maybe even a half inch space now, so that should be cool right? I'll have to keep my eye on it.
Is there anything they sell that I could just stick on top of the tip ot the bumper?
Wait until I need help with my C&L CAI and X2 tune.

So did you just put the hanger on there to be a buffer or did you actually connect it to something? Gota pic? Thank you for the info!

The 2 3/4 inch exhaust pipe clamp connects to the pipe and exhaust hanger. The exhaust hanger then connects to the post where the old ford rubber hanger should no longer be when you installed the MRT.
