Just wanted to see if this happened with anyone else’s car. I have the AWE Touring edition on my 2020 Si and I noticed when driving over a road with a dip or bump, the car has a small thud. I assume it’s because the exhaust is closer than the stock one but I checked to make sure everything had plenty of room. I can’t see any scuff marks of where it’s hitting but I was curious if anyone else was running into this issue? I installed mine about 500 miles ago.

it should not contact anything under the car if installed correctly. i would jack up the car(securely) and give the exhaust a good shake in a few diff directions. may have to loosen all the clamps and readjust the piping.

To add to @vandalSI:

With car securely on ramps, a lift or jack stands check for contact.
-Specifically check the rear hangers as when the system gets hot it will grow about 1/2".
-Make sure all slip joints are bottomed out fully. If not, the system may be sitting too far back.
-Check for clearance at the mid-pipe section.

A properly installed system will not have any contact.

If you want, it might be helpful to drop in a Support ticket here!

I'm also going to DM you.
