title says it all, installed a borla catback and as soon as i drive it i hear a deathly rattle/metal scraping noise. i’m not sure if it’s the muffler hitting the heat shields under the trunk, or the two prongs for the exhaust hanger above the axle that are hitting the heat shields. has anyone else had this problem???

I have that same exhaust and I have not had any problems and I think it sounds fantastic. I did install Cobb polyurethane hangers as a precaution against the possibility that the OEM ones might not be up to the task. The fit and finish was quite good and the only possibility in my recollection for mechanical interference is from worn hangers allowing the exhaust to move and vibrate against adjacent heat shields.
