Default ep3 exhaust

Sould be straight forward, but it's not. I got an Apexi Noir for the ep and it rattles, took it back to the shop, fixed. Next day rattles again. I think my motor mounts are shot anyone experience anything like this? Just keep tightening it up?

Pretty much the car as a whole. Specifically i meant to tighten up the exhaust hangers, heard to replace with poly ones and it might help the problem. Again with my motor mounts too, they could be much better. One might even be broken it feels so slopy, but i don't see where it would be? On my list for next month, inovative 60a's.

So it's still rattling...I've never had an exhaust problem like this. I was at an SHG meet and there was a pretty big EP3 turnout. Any advice SHG or anyone for that matter. I can't get the Apexi Noir Exhaust to stop rattling.

you need to find what the cat back is hitting and adjust the the hangers to clear the location....warning, you might have to get a little dirty

Lol..no problem with getting dirty, this isn't my first rodeo. It's been adjusted 5 times; good for a day then right back. Same spot twice, every other time a different spot. I feel like the motor mounts suck and it's moving the exhaust, especially after a hard downshift. Oh didnt mention cuz i figured i would get flamed out, but since i kinda am anyway; it's worse in the rain...can't figure that one out.

the front (of the car) mount is way to soft...mine was done at 40,000 miles....you can start there.
