Title: Milltek knocking on rear splitter.
Post by: brewey on 26 November 2013, 21:44

Evening all, I got my Milltek fitted not too long ago and all is great with the sound and feel etc. but it's knocking against the rear splitter/ bumper at certain points like when sat in traffic and it's starting to get somewhat annoying. As a temp fix I have wedged an old silicone hose between the tips and bumper which has reduced the noise abit but with each day the noise is returning more. Has anyone got any ideas of how to cure it? Is it likely to be poorly hung, the dogbone mount is worn or a case of new exhaust hangers? Or anything else that I havent thought of?

Any input would be great.

this was happening to my friends on his lcr. will ask him what he did however I have a feeling it was a case of bend the hangers so it sits lower

You'll have to adjust how it's hanging, you should be able to loosen the clamps and adjust it so the tips are further away from the valance. Mine took a lot of fettling to get it sitting right.

I wondered if it would be something along these lines. It just looks as though it already sticks out quite a way compared to others I've seen that are quite flush. Like I said it's not affecting performance it's just bloody irritating.
