Default Just intalled Apexi Dunk

Just as the topic says. Sorry, I don't have pics yet. I love the look, although it is a little big. My only complaint is that around 1-2k the exhaust rattles it I barely apply the throttle. Is this happening because the tip is just so big or what? Is the hanger loose? I'm sure this is common w/ any exhaust. Any help would be great.

Check and see if your exhaust is rubbing somewhere under your car.

Check your heat shields. It is probably vibrating against one.

It depends on how much they are bumping.

My heat shields only rattled a little....sounded like a loose bolt. Removed them and no more buzzing.

Thanks, I think I found the problem. Unfortunately I am out of town now. I did a search last night and found it was probably a heat shield. when I shook the piping I noticed it hitting at part of the heat shield. It was and I bent it out of the way. I only let it idle, and it sounded normal. Thanks for the help.

BTW, the Dunk is freakin awesome. It is the only exhaust I have heard on a NA setup that is so deep. All I have right now is stock headers and cat, w/ the dunk bolted on, and it is great. I would highly reccommend getting one of these if you can find one anymore. I hope when I putmy test pipe on next week it won't change the sound much. If it does i'll take it off and get a high flow. Thanks again.
