Exhaust problems..TURBO

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has problems with the exhaust ratteling against i can only guess the front strut bar..it doenst stop and it is really annoying it happened after we were finished installing the TSI kit...but if so lemme know i have the DC tcs....so if anyone has an answer it'd be cool to hear what you did....i think i might just go under and space some stuff out or try to figure something out but if there another way around it lemme know. thanks in advance

Your exhaust is no where near your front strut bar. Maybe your front sway bar? The most common thing I noticed, is when you put a turbo manifold on, your exhaust pipe is slightly moved... You should check your rear sway bar and you rear heatsheild and find out if it's rattling against that. That is your most likely point of rattle lol... good luck

mine was hitting my rear sway bar so i took some rubbery tube cover things and zip tied it to my sway bar so it hit that instead of sway bar and it stopped the noise.

front or rear.....rear then these guys covered it...if its coming from under your seat slightly to the pass side, then look at the tunnel where the exhaust offsets over and the unibody humps to accomondate, odds are it hitting there. I just used a mig welder and welded a brace onto mine....
