Default Vibration after MRT axel back install...

Is this just the result of the deep bass at low RPM's? I swear I tightened and retigned everyting up. Anyone else have this problem after installing the MRT Aero-Turbine axel back? It sure sounds like it's rattling alot back there.

And how much space should be between the tip and the rear bumper cover? I swear it's close enough that it'll melt it if I hit a big enough bump.

Could I have tightened it up too much? Thank you for any input!

-Matt

YOu could put dynamats to stop rattling As for clearance i have mine less than 1/4 inch and it doesnt melt if you want to put a bat into the tail pipe and push down gently a few times and it should bend it down a bit

it shouldn't be rattling back there at all. I have some dash rattle now at like 2k rpms but that's it. No rattle back by the muff its self

as far as clearance goes. I'm thinking like a 1/4 inch would be best. I melted my bumper a bit when I first put it on because I didn't give it enough clearance.

I had to bend the hangers a little bit to get the rattle to go away when i installed mine.

Melted the bumper with my flowmaster super40s lol (4" tips)

I had a vibration at 1400 to 1500 rpms after installing my magnaflow duals, it went away after break-in on the mufflers, I just stayed out of that rpm range as much as possible, might be the same for you

Well at least I'm not as dumb as I thought. )

What did bending the hangers acomplish? I did think about needing some "break in" time.

And I will use a bat (I assume you mean a baseball bat), to try and bend it down a bit. Althought, maybe bending the hangers will do the same. I took it on about a 50 mile ride at highway seepds, and it didn't melt the bumper, but I still want to be safe.

Thanks again guys. When it comes to mods, I'm a complete novice, but love doing them! I guess it the sens of satidfaction.

Now if I can only change my own oil! LOL!

One more thing for anyone that wants to install this, make sure you have a jack and stands! Mine were stolen so I was crawwling and sline undet the car on the pavement. Not easy for a 6ft 300lb guy!

I had this with my one of mine too...just check the back hanger to see if its hitting the metal frame on the car. (if it's not the muffler hitting the bumper)
