I spoke with Cody and he told me some people were having issues with rattling. He said the rattling just came from everything. He said to fix the problem I would have to somehow brace the downpipe to the motor or tranny somewhere. I'm away on vacation for the next month so it'll be awhile before I get a crack at fixing it. Just wanted to know if anyone of you has come across this issue and has fixed it. Any pictures would be great. Thanks!

 

I'm doing the install this weekend, I'll let you guys know how it goes and what I find in regards to this.

BTW, along the lines of "For those with Lovefab GT1", anybody have pics of where they placed the tap for the oil return line. I've seen a couple from Vortech kits, but wanted to see how the actual lovefab fitting looked installed. Would you happen to have that Chitah?

 

Sorry man, the only pictures I have are from the top. Hopefully someone else can help you out.

 

I don't know if this will help, but these are pics of when I had my UR kit installed. I don't have my Lovefab stuff on yet, but I'll be sure to post pics of it when it's on.

I had a bracked custom build. It was attaching the end of the Dp to the transmission, but since it was sitting lower then the already VERY low places 3" DP, I started scratching it agains road humps. SO I got it removed. I have done everything I could to fix the whole exhaust system in place, but in hard left corners it still rattles time to time..any ideas?

 

^ I was thinking it's only me, funny. Is all the rattle something that can not be solved? I guess the main reason is, that the car was NOT designed for a 3" DP and a 3" exhaust all the way back. The tolerances are way to low, everything hit something when you turn...yak

 

I recommend that everyone check there motor mounts. I have a feeling that they are causing some of the issues. The motor mounts in the S are not very stiff, the motor moves quite a bit under load. With everything being so tight, I'd bet that you are pushing the downpipe into your frame and that's causing the vibrations. Maybe run damper, or get some stiffer mounts. I'll be looking into this deeper in the future when I put my new manidfold on.

 

I hope that's sarcasm.

 

That's not much of a sales pitch:

For Sale: Rattling, vibrating peice of shit. Genuine offers considered.

 

I heard that cody is making some braces to stop the rattles and they will be included in the new kits. oh , and all the charge pipes come beaded now.
