veccy mounts did fuck all for me, still knocked. im on a 45mil drop and only when i start the car or when im at idle does it rattle, but its annoying when you have 4 people in the car and it sounds like your cars falling to bits.

yeah, when the cars full it just rests on the axle & vibr8s. mechanic says they r quite heavy zausts tho so i might have 2 have it clamped up or summet.

u cn try to raise it a bit by puting tie wraps around the exhaust rubbers which lift if up some, but u would ned to bend the metal lip of the car up else it will hit on that!

I'm down 60mm and it rattles very loud with just 1 in the back.
I'm just avoiding taking passengers until I get a custom powerflow which wont touch the axel.
I'll have to get them to put 3 fat gets in the back when they decide where to put the pipes.

take the clamp off and turn it round so it bolts up and faces upwards insted of down, it is more than likely the clamp hittin the axle, turn it so it points up problem solved, o and i had same exhaust did this this morn prob has now gone
