I noticed the creak/pop after about 10-15 heat cycles.

So I bought this xpipe contrary to what I said. I like it, however I have a ton of vibrations and new noise with it. I think something is kinda loose under the car making the rattle noise. I didnt have the bend issue since I have the "original" xpipe RE installed on a member car here. I bought the x-pipe attached to the plate so I didnt have an issue there. Just the vibrations when in low RPMs and in gear (think when slowly backing up, when the RPMs drop, I start hearing this noise)
Any ideas?

They are self tapping screws, not machine screws they can strip the holes if you aren't careful. Some are spring clips but the ones at the back on the tie brace are just drilled holes. One other point I almost forgot. There is one screw in the center that is right below the X. On mine, the screw touched the X. I had to add a couple of washers to space it down a bit.

Loctite not lactate. Damn auto correct. I don't think lactate would work very well.

That might also have given clearance for the center screw.

This is true. Ill get underneath her Saturday and check it out. Was this preventing the middle screw from tightening all the way?

I just happened to be in the correct position to see it hit the pipe as I tightened it.

Just checked and the screw was definitely hitting the pipe. This was what was causing the popping sound after I tightened them up the first time. Thanks for that InTgr8r! problem solved. All in all I'm glad I did this mod. Was iffy at first with the fitment problem but I'm over it now

I just installed my re x-pipe and re trans mounts and had no problem with the right pipe did not touch on my plate , only the one bolt in the middle i had to shave down a bit . but other than that easy install , maybe the re trans mounts help with the pipe not hiting the plate ...

Not adding insult to injury,
Zero problems, noises, vibrations, mounting problems with the supersprint x pipe

Um, yeah it can. Any decent muffler shop can add a flange to mate it perfectly w/stock. I'm living proof. lol
