Notice how the cats bracket was adjusted and the clamps on the rubber hangers. The rubber hangers do flex a little and the clamps keep it to a minimal.

While jacking at the y pipe as shown in the instructions loosen all of your bolts including the cat brackets. Get some cheap clamps and clamp the rubber hangers as shown in the pics. Gradually go around and tighten all of the bolts evenly.... If all else fails go to a shop!

Getting it off the cross member made a HUGE improvement in the sound of the exhaust. With the exhaust resting on the cross member not only was I hearing rattling at times but it had a resonance from the contact. Sounds much better, and I'm happy with it.

I'm glad you guys are seeing successes, and apologize it's taken a return trip to a shop to get the crossmember sorted out.

As the instructions state, jacking at the y-pipe while everything is loose, and tightening everything down should be the trick, but what it's not saying is that you should jack it hard. I'm working on some more detailed info, and will continue to discuss things with our R&D dept. We had one in today with no issues on the crossmember, done by jacking up the y-pipe hard and securing all of the exhaust bolts down.

I probably could've jacked the front section a little more than I did and maybe that would've made the difference, but as for the rear section, jack travel kinda stops when the exhaust hits the suspension bits (the V-shaped braces and/or the rear sway bar). If your shop guys are taking the rear section with a jack as far as it goes (to the V-shaped braces), and then also jacking the front up really hard beyond that, you might want to add that to the install instructions. Going by the instructions/photos, you'd think it just needs to be jacked in the rear.

Shooting for a revamp on the instructions, and looking into if there might be something we can do to slightly change the system to ensure anyone bolting it up has an easier time with it. Glad you guys have got them adjusted.
