I had a similar problems, only the driver's side tip actually moved BEHIND the rear bumper and burned a tiny portion of the paint off! Luckily, the burn spot isn't visible, since it is inside the bumper. Anyway, I ended up getting my tips welded. Since I had no intentions of adjusting them again, I figured that would be the best solution for me. After that, no significant problems even though they aren't perfectly aligned (about 1/4 inch off) It's barely noticeable though.



Mine (driver's side) kept hitting the swaybar when I run over bumps or dips on the road. I had the muffler shop "bend" the pipe, and no more knocking sound since.

Sounds good, I need to go get that done, the noise is annoying

I swear mine is hitting the upper control arm but it only really does it when it's cold or if I hit a really big bump in the road. I need to see if it is hitting my sway bar.

I had the same problem......it wasn't the screw for me. The metal rod that the tip hangs from (the LONG metal rod) was actually so long that it was resting up againt the clamp of the exhaust tip. So I busted out the trusty Dremel and whacked an inch or two off.

No problems since.

Totally disagree. The tips are very nice. The cool thing is that they allow you tou adjust them to exactly how you want them. It isn't a Magnaflow quality problem that the user is not doing small tack welds to hold them on ... I did when I got mine ...

Could be the installer or could a manufacuter quality control problem, cause it seems many people are opting for different ways to "FIX" a problem they really should not have to.

Well my problem is with my Exhaust Tips on my Magnaflow Exhaust System. It is a re-occurring problem. The "Allen" screw gets lose and the frigging tip rattles like no ones business. This will be the third attempt to having this problem resolved. I work at a Ford dealership and last time I had a Ford Tech put it on a lift and tighten the screw up and throw some lock-tight on it....well as it happend that screw has since cracked. Now before I buy new tips and kill these...I was hoping anyone had any ideas or suggestions????
