Exhause rubbing after dp install

Hey guys got this vrsf downpipe installed but I get a vibrarion/rubbing on the frame from the exhaust at about 1500rpm til 2krpm. Is this a common thing? Can I space the exhaust away from the frame? It's getting annoying since those are daily cruising rpms 😔

My 17 440 mppsk had the same issue, annoying rattle all throughout the car when crushing. Went under the car and found that the clamp that was holding the muffler to the mid pipe some how got loose. Slid the muffler in more and tightened it. No problems since.

Hopefully this helped! Might be something to look at.

Yea definitely had the exact same issue it was a faulty clamp that allowed some sag in the pipes. They were touching the bracket below the pipe that caused the vibration on cold starts. I even separated my mid pipe on a hard pull because of the clamp but it's only like $50 and a quick fix.

I had the same issue with VRSF and they claimed "mfr defect had the outlet twisted" and did a warranty/refund.
