Overpipe rubbing on subframe
Hi so after I installed my v2 1320 headers and overpipe, I've been hearing a rattle from the overpipe. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. It only happens from sharp turns or accelerating. I've seen other threads with this issue and they say to buy stiffer motor mounts. What motor mounts are good for this? Or should I get something else?
Thanks, Coop |

I never had overpipe issues (even with a 3" JDL over/frontpipe) but did have the exhaust hitting the rear subframe when accelerating. STI engine mounts did the trick. NVH isn't noticeably added but it's noticeably stiffer.

Plan B would be to loosen the bolts on both ends of the overpipe, then jam a wooden wedge in the space where the pipe is hitting whatever then tighten the bolts/nuts then remove the wedge. humfrz for Bubba |
