ASP True Dual exhaust is making a rattling/vibration at about 75mph!
I raised the car in the air and the problem seems to be the additional added hanger that ASP added to keep it from moving to far in the left/right direction.
While in the air I noticed that when I shake the exhaust tips I get a "tingling" sound. Almost like I was tapping the exhaust pipes with a metal object. So I would assume that the tingling is exaggerated going at higher speeds.
I unscrewed the 2 small screws that hold it on and it disappeared. So I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Now the hanger does seem to be still welded to the pipes. But I'm thinking that it may be coming loose. Do you think that the weld is slightly loose and could cause this noise?
Has other people noticed their ASP exhaust rattling/vibrating? What did you do to fix it?

ASP costs more than most Cat-back systems, right? You would think due to
the extra $$ for ASP it would have less issues? I guess the old "you get what you pay for" doesn't always hold true...

Yeah, I was figuring that would come up. I love this exhaust "note" and looks.
But I have had it for quite a while. I was probably one of the first couple people to even have the ASP TD. I've had it for a little over a 1.5 years now.
But I do think it shouldn't have these kind of problems.

i had same issue with twin2 and 3" ASP dps - play with it a bit
remebmer not all cars are exactly the same besides sounds like you fixed it
my issue was the "standard" tranny mount bolt - fixed with longer hanger where the extension bracket goes ( at first i fixed it by just inserting/wedging some rubber pieces in the mount to 'push' it down.
heck a few post down some guy had to weld the whole exhuast to stop leaks - misalignment is by far more DIY :-)
