Default Invidia Midpipe Install Question

Did you guys leave off the rear bar for the exhaust support? I'm getting a rattle around that section. Was I supposed to leave off that flat brace and the bar brace off?

Take off all braces. Install. Put braces back on. You should not have a rattle unless something is loose

Did you remember to take the old gasket at the end of the oem midpipe and put it on the new one?

I got it fixed. I over tightened the braces and it bent upwards. I had to straighten it out. It's amazing what a 1/4" clearance will do. Thanks guys.

I have the Greddy SE with the Invidia mids

You have a sound clip? I'm assuming you get a cel with the midpipe right? Unless you use defoulers to prevent it?
