Default Invidia Catback Exhaust System

I just got an Invidia Exhaust system for my S2000 from evolution motorsport . . . its nice, BUT the right muffler sticks out half inch more and it vibrates a very noticable amount reguardless what RPM the car is at . . . it also has a lot of play (left and right) so much that it will hit the rear lower bumper (black guard) Invidia sent me a pair of their rubber hangers, and it even made it worse . . . Does anyone experience these problems??? I used 3 hangers, is that correct??? 1 on each muffler and 1 for the mid pipe, my guess is its a defective one...but has one else had this problem...any advice . . . thanks

My buddies invidia exhaust vibrated on one of the bars going across under the car. I would be more specific but it was a while back. It was fixed by using washers on the bolts that attach the bar to the chassis.

some of them yes... i think it's when they are fabricating it they mess up on the placements of the hangers....

but like i said... my buddy finally got them to replace the whole rear section and now it fits fine...

3 of my other buddies have had no problems with the exhaust...

My invidia has no play and no vibration, it's very solid except it's not perfectly even. But not noticesable. Sounds awesome with the j's header, and less drowning. Still some though.

I had an Invidia on my S2000. It fit pretty good with the oem rubber hangers. I had to bend the hangers on the body a little to make it fit perfectly though. I liked the exhaust, it sounded awesome at high rpms with the silencers removed. I just switched to a Mugen exhaust. Its awesome, I can actually hear my radio and my ears don't hurt when I get out of the car

Invidia should give you a new b-pipe - people on s2ki had this problem and it was replaced by the manufacturer.
