Default magnaflows. weird sound

hey iv had my magnaflows for about a month now and from inside, it makes a sound like it is scraping on the ground or something. it usually happens during the first 5 minutes or so but also happens sometimes later in the ride? anybody know whats up? do i need to tighten the bolts or what is exactly making this rumble/crackling sound like it is draggin on the road. i dont mind it because i know it sounds good on the outside but im sick of passengers asking me wtf is going on thanks

Default RE: magnaflows. weird sound

did you install it yourself or did a shop?

if a shop fabbed it they may have done a ****ty job and the pipes may not be in an underbody recess and scrape whenever you hit a hill crest or a bump []

good luck man-

and look under your car!

Do you hear the sound from a stop? That'll rule out anything scrapping. I too had a this scrapping sound, but elminated the possibility when I was at a stop and still heard it. It was actually one of the retention brackets toward the rear on the driver side. It was rattling like mad (probably hitting the spare tire compartment like someone on these forums suggested). I went back to the shop and they put their own bracket on (some metal slab) and voila, no more rattling.
