Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the AMS downpipe rubbing on the subframe? Im not sure whats causing the fitment issues, my lower tie bars fit fine with spacers, there is plenty of clearance. Clears my oil pan and ACD just find but it definitely rubs on the subframe and causes a pretty nasty rattle. Also I noticed the left hanger for the downpipe doesnt seem to fit right either. This is on an IX, any suggestions?

thanks

the buschur downpipe does the same. they have washers the you have to put between the two cross bars and the subframe where they mount. or y0u could have it fitted on the o2 housing none straight. check that to

wevo, it's not hitting the lower tiebars, its rubbing against the bottom of the subframe, close to where the downpipe mates with the test pipe.

sure you have your test pipe in the right way? i had that problem and it went away when i flipped the test pipe.

I have the full AMS turboback exhaust...

Will flipping the test pipe actually make a difference? Don't really see how it could.

I have the AMS turboback on my IX and it is close but there is no rubbing at all. Still the stock turbo and manifold also.
