ridiculous if you ask me. Why be on these forums if they arent willing to share

and help other 86 owners which is the whole point of the forum.

@RallySport Direct on the other hand was very helpful and answered right

away. They recommended the heat wrap and also checking your springs so

they are furthest away from the pipe. I havent had time to try this yet but

Rallysport Direct has had these exhausts for a long time so im sure it will help.

i ordered so heat wrap yesterday, when i am back in town from work i will put it on and post a video, been out of town longer then expected lol.

thanks

The old Buddy Club spec 3 used a similar design (not sure about the spec 2). I took off the springs and heat wrapped the exhaust where the springs were....problem solved.

However, a year later those stupid springs rusted away (daily driven in crappy conditions).

No rattle on my 60s.hope stay this way

Double sided 3m tape underneath the spring should stop the rattle.

Haven't heard any rattling, but then again it's to cold for me to stand outside to take any vids. To much snow going on over here can't wait for the warmer weather.

I have the 80, The only rattle I got was the springs hitting the heat shield on the tank, I did some hammering and I haven't heard a rattle out if it since.

Anybody ran the exhaust without the springs? Just bought a Tomei 60R, owner had everything but the springs, installing this Sunday.

I've run my 60S without the springs for 2 years and have had no issues or leaks.

I've been running Type 80 for a month now, and I haven't noticed anything overtly annoying, but it is really thin titanium piping as well.

Aren't you supposed to install the springs so that they hook through from the inside (closer to the pipe), rather than from the outside-in as pictured on the image from RallySport Direct. I thought that I read somewhere awhile back that people were getting rattles from installing the spring that way (even though it seemed more intuitive to do so.)

I've had my Tomei 60S installed for over two years now without issue - I'll take a peak underneath my car when I get some to see what mine look like.
