Nope I don't think so, the heat shield seemed to have quite a bit of clearance from the pipes

An alignment host, few shops I went to said they couldn't get it on the 4 point hoist because of the side splitter thing :/


Here's a shaky cell phone video I tried to take because my step dad borrowed my camera for his business trip
Notice that it only rattles during deceleration.. It's annoying in the video but it's MUCH worse when you're driving at city speeds and it happens to float at that rpm, which is just constant rattling... The rattling sounds noticeably louder in person than in the video



There was also a very very light tinny sound coming from my exhaust before I got the test pipes at around 2100rpm as well, which just recently started happening. It was so quiet though I kind of brushed it off, as you can barely hear it at all... So do you think something may be broken in the catback? :S When it was on the lift the sound seemed to be coming from here, right after the test pipes to the left of the picture
