Hi guys ...

I have 3" mid pipes, and after a while from using it, I hear them rumbling and it seems they are bumping into this piece (red circle)









Although I lift the pipes up a bit and lower the holding bar (with washers and long bolts), but with CA 101 bumps it came down and start making a noisy rumbling.

Should I tighten the bar on the mid pipes , or take off for good?
Is there any shims or material I can use between the bar and the pipes to minimize the noise (and resist heat ofcourse)?

any advice please?

Are you guys removing this piece? Doesn't it give the body a bit of support?

which car is yours?

I used spacers on mine... I just assumed this piece was important (Chassis stiffening or something)

Had the same problem with the MBH X pipe, but they supplied me with a modified cross member that clears the mid pipes. Before I put on the MBH cross member I used spacers and it didn't rub any more.
My suggestion would be to use spacers or remove it.

BTW which exhaust are you running on your car?
Kinda looks like the Eisenmann sport.

it does nothing for chassis

Thank you all for the advice ... I'm taking it off tomorrow.

It's Eisenmann but it's not my car unfortunately
