like the title says. I just installed my WS2 catback exhaust and one of the flanges are hitting the heat sheild thats under the feat area in the back seat. I was thinking of either bend the shield out of the way alittle or putting a piece of radiator house there to cut down or eliminate the vibration. It vibrates pretty bad while at idle and you can feel it a little when accelerating. If anyone else has had this problem what did you do to fix it? TIA

 

I just installed my friends apex ws2 on his 99 civic coupe and he has the same rattle problem just at idle. Not sure what it is because I haven't had time to jump underneath the car, but it sure is annoying. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

 

my ws2 exhuast only rattled when i would acclerate but then it would go away again i only had a test pipe and not a cat and installation in my eg was perfect nothing hit's each other

 

On mine, the exhaust flange in the area below the back seat feet area is touching the driver side of the heat shield.

Should I bend the heat shield just enough to get it out of the way or should I put a piece of radiator house or other type of buffer to cut down on the vibration. Is there a down side to bending the heat shield? Would the radiator house handle the heat?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

 

anyone?

 

The WS/WS2 systems are a very tight fit. I just removed the heat sheilds all together. No problems at all.

 

The car gets warm enough with no AC, I don't want to do anything that will add more heat. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Any more ideas?

 

any other suggestions?

 

pretty much awnsered your own question... just bend the hanger... or be slick and fab up some new mounts out of polyurthane

 

there no adverse affects from bend the heat shield out of the way? Not that I would be ebnding it that much but...

 

Take your heat shield out all together...that's what I did on my 95 coupe. As long as your not going through any fields or anything, ur good
