Agreed. I've had it for a year without additional support not a single rattle. Ditto on dogbone.

Default i think there is a lot of stress where it connects to the turbo.

hangs from that gray rubber hanger to the turbo!!! and i think i hear it rattling around the flex area

the cat back has beeen modified for a better fit.. and that band is there because they installed it a bit crooked and it hits the side. they will fix it this weekend.

..yes that resonator is very close to the ground its scary

Default I've had a 42 DD DP now for longer than anyone here & I'm sure it's cracked or loose again

It started about a month ago after three straight long track days. It came completely loose before and I used metal locknuts to secure it - I've checked all connections and all bolts appear tight - at least on the lower section and at the turbo. I've even replaced all my motor mounts including the dogobone with a new track density mount which is stiffer than the stock with poly's and it's still rattling and clunking.

Either my turbo is loose, manifold is loose, or DP is loose or cracked - but somethings failed. It's really hard to see what is wrong - but all the bolts I can get a wrench/socket on appear to be tight. I'm sure it's because it's not adequately supported. Stasis warned me about this during the install and i've been meaning to put the additional bracing on - but didn't have a chance.

Yikes. Maybe I'll get this over to a muffler shop. I feel pretty lucky but I don't track either.
