Does your borla rattle?
I can't figure it out. It usually happens at a stop, or when the car is in nuetral. Could I have tighten the spring bolts too tight? I don't think it's touching anything. Any suggestions? I thought that the install was very straight forward.....so any thoughts.

There's several threads on this already. I started one myself in the DIY section with things to look for and one fix. I still have another rattle that I haven't located yet.

With mine, I have to "reset" it's position within the clamps after every 2-3 autocrosses, as it shifts and begins to hit the heat shield (on the drivers side rear of the shield itself).
I loosen both clamps, and with careful adjustment, can get it back to where it JUST clears the metal. No matter how hard I drive on the street, this is never an issue, but you might check it just in case..........

Ex- member.
Mine had the same rattle, usually at idle and especially when it was cold. The hanger closest to the differential was rubbing. I had a muffler shop put it up on a lift and then tap the exhaust and see if it hits anything. I had them heat up the hanger then bend it out of the way about an inch. Charge was only a $10 tip and the nasty rattle is gone.
