This has been my only beef with this exhaust. I've had more problems with this issue, than the others for some reason.
I really like the sound and look of it though. I'm curious to see what kind of gains I'll get with it, once I add the header, and intake.
Overall I'd say go for it!

I like it a lot. It's not ricey and completely made in N. America!
Priced right too.
Smooth,
Did you get your problem sorted out?

Funny you mention that. I'm about to tear the damn thing off my car!! It's 10 times worse when it rains for some reason. And it's raining now. GRRRRRRRRRR
I've been waiting to get my camber kit on....When they lift the car I'll have them take the exhaust completely off, and put it back on with some adjustments. Hopefully that'll solve the problem. Just waiting on that camber kit. Was supposed to be in weeks ago. :(

Dude,
I'm sorry to hear that.
I have to ask though, is your car the only one that's lowered, and the MBRP system?
Did you keep your factory set-up? If so, you could re-install the factory muffler, keep the MBRP mid pipe and see if that makes any difference.

Wait a minute....U mean none of you guys have lowered your car?! That's probably why none of you are having the same problems!!!! D'oh!
Anyways...by looking at the stock muffler and the MBRP one, I can tell it won't match up to the midpipe. The MBRP muffler's much longer. :(
No freakin wonder I was the only one having issues. SHIT!
I might just get some high temp sticky foam to put on my sway bar. Just put a patch of it right where the exhaust rattles off of it.

2k2civicsi.....In you're e-mail you said, you've got your resonator up against where your heatshield is. So you just bent the heatshield right?

If that's what I gotta do....I'm doing it.
