Anyone else having a hard time getting the exhaust to clear the metal bracket behind the spare tire? Mine vibrates like crazy on the bracket. the most I can get is half in clearance but the exhaust doesn’t stay in place and works it’s way back down

I followed the directions and went to front to back but Jason told me he recommends back to front. I’m having trouble with the section that goes over the axle which is your same section. I’m gonna pull my at the front and muffler can and adjust the two back pieces to how they should be and clamp em down hard then do the muffler and front section.

That’s a thin bracket. You can just bend it away from the exhaust pipe or just remove it.
 
Impressions:

Fitment- Excellent. No modifications required. Bolted up to existing hangers. Used new clamps and bolts provided by Gibson.

Looks- Matte Black Tips really matches the rest of my 4R. Side exit looks really neat with the tips running along the angle of the bumper. Not only are the tips black, so is the pipe it bolts to so the look is seamless. Not just a steel pipe with BLK tips bolted to it. Baby Brabus AMG look for sure.

Sound- Slight rumble at idle in driveway. You know it’s there. Sounds comes from the RR of the car so you can hear it with your right ear. Idle in traffic and you can’t hear anything. Hard to compare the sound but I guess you can say a V6 Mustang with a muffler? Except it’s not loud. Almost bubbles like a V8 but not strong enough? Normal accelerations sounds good. You can hear there is a system. Hadn’t got a chance to WOT. Music is a little harder to hear? Maybe I’m just use to how quiet the 4R use to be.

Performance- I can feel right away the throttle response. Car feels more free? So far I am really digging the response. It’s way lighter than the factory unit. So I think I am feeling the weight saving there too. I do have a TRD CAI.

Great write-up, I added it to my site.

Aside from the warranty, what is the advantage of the stainless vs. aluminized piping?

I'd recommend SS for anywhere up north as someone else said. Alum has a 1 year warranty and won't last forever. SS will, or it will be replaced for free. If you don't plan on keepinf the truck long, maybe go with alum, as it's less, or go with SS if you are the type that needs peace of mind, or if you want to use it as a bargaining chip when selling the truck.... "hey, my truck has full Stainless Steel exhaust with lifetime warranty" :)

Looks like you have a Limited from your avatar. This system will not work on your 4R. Correct me if I am wrong [MENTION=9]Jason B[/MENTION].

Yes, come to find out IF you have a LIMITED model, you will have to bend move the last rear hangar to accomodate the the tip.

Single/dual options. Dual sounds even more like a v8, no joke!

VERY interested in this system. What effect would it have on warranty?? I have a brand new 19 TRD ORP
 
Your OEM exhaust warranty might get voided but it won’t matter because it won’t be on the truck anymore.

also, wouldn't they (in theory) be able to claim that any engine related issues could have conceivably been caused by altering the air flow/exhaust? seems like an easy out for them

They have to prove that mod directly caused the failure. You’re not deleting your cats or anything. No o2 sensor mods. It’s no different than a TRD catback Exhaust
 
what about emissions for us california suckers? any issues there?

you should pass emissions, but you may not pass visual (and that depends if the smog tech is having a good or bad day)... I hate cali law....

Honestly, I say go for it if you really want a new exhaust. I've never had a problem passing visual at a smog test, UNLESS I got sent to the smog refs....which only happened one time because the CHP decided that my vehicle of choice wasn't something she liked.

Nope, NONE! This exhaust will 100% pass for California. It can't fail. California's laws do not exclude cat back exhausts. You are 110% in the clear. Now, If I was going to sell you headers in CA, that's an issue.

Same with an air intake, BUT, I'm happy to report that the S&B intake that just came out is getting APPROVED for CA very shortly! For those not in CA, not issue for this intake.

Correct, BUT I think this one sounds better than the TRD :)

Can you run me through how to modify the side-exit for the Limited? I'd like to know what I would be getting into once I order.
