Milltek catback middle hanger some times touching the drive shaft...
Has anyone else had they middle hanger touch the drive shaft. It happens with mine on right hand turns sometimes. I tried adjusting it once to get some more clearance but it started doing it again but not as frequently. It is very slight but I can hear it.
I think I'm going to have to take the middle section off and bend the hanger a but to ensure proper clearance. However, before I do that I was wondering if anyone else encounter this and if so, how did you fix it? Thanks.

There was not much clearance all right. Do you have the non-res middle pipe?
On my non-res, I just twisted the centre pipe away from the drive shaft and tightened and so far, no issues.

Installed it myself...
It is very easy to do so but I think the middle hanger should have been redesigned a bit to make sure this wouldn't happen. It only very slightly touches when going through a sweeping right turn. If you drive with you audio system even an a medium level or with windows down, you won't hear it.
I think I'll have to take the middle section off and bend the hanger just a bit. Even a 1/4" with prevent it from happening.
If you are the DIY kind, you might want to take a look.
