Help!
 
I just installed my downpipe which was a Rx7fashions SS with 2000 degree jet hot coating on it. Well my problem is on a hard left turn it sounds like the front end is going to rattle apart. Any ideas what it is?

You didn't happen to buy new tires? If you went to wide, you may be rubbing against the front inside fender well. I can't see that by replacing your down pipe you could have messed up the suspension. May want to look at you motor mounts, and possibly your exhaust hangers. The only other thing that I can think of is that you may have raised the car up on the wrong points and some how screwed up the geometry of something.

Well the problem has been located to be my alignment being really off. looking at the inner tread on my right front you can see where the tire was skipping. Apparently the people who did my alignment last did a really crappy job. I don't think it was related to the downpipe really it just happen to be coencidental or maybe being up on a jack caused it to shift just enough. But I'll let you know thursday after I get it all done.
