I just recently installed the Spoon N1 axle-back with my stock B-pipe and whenever I'm driving normally and shift above 3k rpm, I hear rattling in between shifting into gear. I don't think the problem is inside the N1. Now, I replaced the exhaust bolts that connected the axle-back with the b-pipe due to severe rusting seen on the old bolts. Could these new bolts be the culprit? I'm still in search of a nice b-pipe, it's just this rattling in the mean time is annoying the hell out of me. Did any of you guys suffer the same problem with just the Spoon axle-back?
Thanks

 

I didn't have any rattling problems whatsoever when I had a Spoon N1 and OEM B-pipe.

 

The only problem I had with my old N1 was that it rattled my lience plate. I had to wedge something under the plate to make it stop.

Thats because you were never driving that fast

 

Are you using the correct combination of hangers?

what he said. try adjusting them and it will probably get rid of the rattle. also, try to go under the car and see where it may be making contact.

 

bolts are probably not tight enough

Thanks for the help guys. When I purchased the new bolts, I had to use the old springs and find matching nuts at a local home depot...is that probably it? I'll probably try using a lock washer also.
