I just installed the UPR o/r x pipe on my '03. I noticed that the pass.side tube comes close to the subframe/k-member/whatever part of the body it is right beside the starter, and I can hear a rattle/knock at idle. I am fairly sure that its just the pipe touching the frame. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Should I just drop the pipe and 'clearance' it with a hammer?

Whats weird is the first time I installed it, there was no rattle, but it had a small leak-so I dropped the pipe and re-seated the pass. side pipe to manifold gasket. Re-install, go for test drive, no leak, no rattle. I go for a drive yesterday and its rattling. The rattle is also much louder inside the car than it is under the hood, thats why I'm thinking its making contact with the body or frame.

I didn't experience any problems with my pipe rattling after the install. I would suggest finding out the exact place it is hitting and then seeing if you can make it clear somehow.

Good luck man and sorry I couldn't help more.

I have no rattling at all from my UPR X pipe. Try to find the exact spot that is rattling. There should be no rattling, this is a great fitting X pipe.
