Hello all. Im a total noob and have been checking out the site for a month solid. I just had JBA duals installed by my dealership and I've been fustrated with my car ever since I got it back on Friday last week. It rattles like crazy! I took it back to them and they weren't able to do any thing for it. I took it to a Midas for them to check out (nice guys...didn't charge me a thing), they tried, but to no avail. When it doesn't rattle, it sounds sweet, but I'm to the point where I'm thinking about having the whole thing uninstalled and starting over again with something else. Is anyone else having problems?

wheres it rattling? is it on acceleration, or just over bumps?

could be the hangers...they probably used some that do not hold the muffler hooks snug enough. you should try shaking the the exhuast from the muffler tip (when its cold of course) and see if you hear any sort of rattle...this is just one possible cause of the noise.

Right now, I could be at a complete stop and hear rattling coming from the rear. The tech at Midas noticed before loosening and adjusting that one of the pipes was resting on the frame. He spaced it out about a quarter of an inch. He also mentioned that the pipe was very close to the spare tire well.

I saw the tech do just that, it was fine. I guess that's the most upsetting part. Everyone looks at it, works on it, buttons it up, gives it the green light, and it still sounds like crap. Seriously, I might start over.

Is it the reverse Y or the H pipe system? The reverseY systems seem to have issues. (both MagnaFlow and JBA).
I had my H system installed at Midas ($75)with no rattles or problems.

It looks like a Y setup. It almost looks like two Y's connected like this: >-<

yeah that's the reverse y. i have jba axlebacks with custom h pipe and have no issues.

Thats weird, JBA H-pipe kit here and its perfect no rattling or vibrations.

So would it be worth it to leave the actual mufflers and get rid of all the pipes that have been installed? I noticed that V6mustangstuff sells just the JBA H pipe and midpipes. Could that cure my ills?
