If you dont want rattles dont get a Miltek.... ive been adjusting mine for the past week trying to stop it from rattling... its just a trail and error at the moment...

i dont know what everyones on about with their rattling miltek, i have a miltek with a lowered car (coilovers) and i get NO rattles, none what soever

either your cars are too low or its not installed correctly

you must just be very lucky dude

i installed mine myself so i know its correct and i know what the problem is. the rear box pipework bends over the rear beam but the bend isnt as big as the standard exhaust, so the pipework tends to knock the beam. for a brief few months mine was actually resting on the beam rather the hanging from its mounts. This was about 70mm drop though. more like 40mm now

its also possible that the hangers on the rear box are longer than those on a standard rear box therefore the box hangs lower
i planned to get some shorter exhaust mounts from powerflex but as of yet i haven't been arsed

Im pretty sure mines vibrating off the rear valance tryed undoing the exhaust clamp and twisting it about but havent found a correct positon yet. only really does it when turning right.! :(

i couldn't be doig with that! my old powerflow jobbie (came with the car) rattled badly, it was where the bend wasn't big enough to clear the back axle,a nd any passengers in the back used to make it rattle. so much clearance with the blueflame now though. never touches at all.
