The problem with the Tomei is that you have to twist the piping to get the fitment. Otherwise, I'd say that the Tomei 80R has the worst clearance of all the possible exhausts out there by virtue of the excessively large piping diameter.

The springs do rattle but the problem isn't the springs, it's the inner silencer. With it in, it sounds somewhat acceptable inside the car but stupid outside. And at idle it just sounds like a bad exhaust leak.

In the video you can hear the springs rattle as I let go of the throttle.
