Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Pics pics! Ya the magnaflow muffler is big but not as massive as it seems in some pics. Glad you like it man! Any idea where it's rubbing? Hopefully that is an easy fix, I haven't noticed mine rubbing at all.

Man we will have nearly mod-for-mod the same parts on our cars now (powerwise especially), this will be a GOOD comparison when you hit the rollers @ DB

Same place the AMS exhaust rub...rear passenger side lower control arm mount. I'm hoping to reposition the exhaust slightly with the forward-most slip-fit flange to give it the extra maybe .5" clearance it needs. I plan to get under there later today.

Just got out from under the car. It was actually rubbing on the passenger side rear differential brace. I think I've adjusted it enough to not rub anymore, but if not I can simple grind the brace down a bit and that should work. I'm thinking my 3" section that replaced my 2.5" neck-down isn't perfectly straight which is what's causing the slight imperfection. I still am really loving this exhaust though! It's such a smooth and quieter tone. I think the SpecialtyX catback is still my favorite, but I'm not baller enough for that (and some of those have rubbing issues too unfortunately) and it hangs a bit low for a daily driver IMO.

*edit*
The exhaust rattle is 99% fixed. I think another small adjustment and it'll be perfect.
