Megan exhaust question
I just finished installing a Megan exhaust on my 09 LB and am having a problem with it knocking against the coil spring plate at idle. Anyone else have this problem and/or know of a solution?

Yes it seems to be lined/bolted up perfectly with the mid-pipe but no matter how I adjust the hangers so it won't hit, it seems to drift back into place after a few minutes of driving and starts to rattle against the spring plate again. Should I try bending the hangers on the muffler?

You might want to take it to a muffler shop and have them weld a bracket to pull it over to the left just a hair. I had that same problem. It tapped just at Idle. A $50.00 weld job fixed it for me. Don't pull it too far or your exhaust will be crooked. I was told when I bought it that if my car was lowered it'd tap, and it did. Shop around for prices, one quote I got was for $100.00. Hope this helps.

I have the Megan knock too, but not at idle, only on rough road. Inlet pipe hits the lower spring cup. I used a rubber bungee to pull the front hanger over to the drivers side. Hooks go round bracket underneath in middle. Called Megan - they said they didn't know of any issues with this install. I told them I'd email them some pics (if it ever stops raining). Other than the fit problem love the sound and car is surely quicker. 09' LB

Oh well after 5 years and paid my car, I started dressing it up. About this same issue with megan, it is a great exhaust but that vibration that you can hear inside is loud..I felt like a harley davidson bike is standing at the back of my car that is idling. Any idea what to do..???

I also wasn't a fan of the Megan exhaust due to the single exhaust hanger only on the one side causing the muffler to hang slightly angled.
