I am getting some metal rubbing sounds but I'm almost certain it's the heat shield. hoping to be able to get the car back on the lift to check it out.! ??
99.9% sure it's touching the heat shield-which is an easy fix just bend it a little with a long screw driver/pry bar and you're good.

Guys, check out this installation tip from Sean @aweinstalls about making sure the heat shield is out of the way when you install your AWE system to ensure you have no rattling.



I'm going to also say, you might as well go ahead and bend the heat shield out of the way before you remove it to ensure it has more of gap when you reinstall it. Planning ahead will make this way easier for you!

Thanks for getting that vid out there! This is important, because if you're rattling it's gonna cause the knock sensors to go off and reduce power.
