Default exhaust pipe popping out and vibrating badly

last night i was drag racing at a 1/8 mile on my 05 type-s. my friend a spectator told me when i was launching off the line, my exhaust muffler was popping out from the rear bumper off about 5-6 inches and the bottom piping was shaking like crazy. Now i ask for many of you is this normal? I have a ingalls torque damper on medium stiffness. Hope this is normal for rsx..

Check your rubber exhaust hangers. Simple as that. Maybe they aren't the OEM parts.

There's a couple places that make polyurethane bushing hangers if it's really that bad.

IMO that torque damper isnt helping you at all. It is more than likely a combination of your exhaust hangers and your engine moving a lot.
