HKS exhaust shaking around too much
i had an Invidia for like 6 months, and while i had it, i took it off 3 times (6 exhaust jobs total). so while i had it on, the hangers were prety much always greased. but it never really moved around while i was driving.
now that i've had my HKS on for about 5 months, my friend who always drives behind me says that it shakes whenever i go over the smallest bumps. is there any way i can fix this, or will it always be like that just because the HKS is so heavy?

I have followed someone with an HKS and their's also moved around quite a bit on hard acceleration and bumps.
Dunno if this helps, but I doubt you are the only one with the problem....

It's always a toss up between being loose enough to handle the movement of the engine on the mounts and being too tight and having other problems.
FWIW- if all you have is looseness just relax and be happy. I put big oval tips on my car, and the OEM rubber mounts are too soft. During high g-loads at the track I have melted the oval cutouts in the lower bumper where the tips go through...
