Racing Beat dual tip installation
 
Hey

I've mounted this beautiful piece of metal last month, and I'm definitely happy with it and how it sounds.
It was pretty easy to install, and I thought I did it right...
The thing is it touches the rear bumper and produces some annoying squeaking sounds...
Am I the only one in this case? Did I mount it the wrong way?

At the moment, I attached it to the bracket with a metal collar, bit it's definitely not perfect... If anyone has a better solution, I'd appreciate

your Rubber hanger isn't the OE one, the OE one is Wider, N3A1-40-061F

Yep, you need the OEM hanger. Aftermarket hangers won't cut it.

It does look like the metal that the hanger is hitting is bent a little bit on the car. Also, do you not have the plastic bumper trim at the bottom?

That makes sense, I didn't even notice this crappy red and thin rubber... Thank you guys ! I already ordered a couple.
Dale, indeed it seems a little bent, I don't know why. And yep , the plastic had been cut around the silencer's tip by the previous owner, probably because it was touching the tip I guess... I should replace it someday.

Hey,
Just a small update,
I've installed the brand new OEM rubber hanger, it was not so easy as the hanger is pretty wide and there's not much space to fill it in the metal bracket...
Anyway, it's just perfect now, as expected !
Thank you guys !

There's no doubt the tiny one I had before was not big enough ^^
