Meisterschaft axle back
I just had a Meisterschaft axle back installed and gosh, is it loud! It's so loud around 2k rpm that it causes rattles in the door panels.
Aside from that, I'm noticing a knocking sound emanating from the passenger side. I found that the rear pipe is extremely close to some cylinder object with a bolt. What is this thing? Is there anything I can do to eliminate this issue? Thanks!

I just checked again, there is no spacing between that metal plate and the exhaust pipe. The knocking sound comes from when they temporarily separate when I drive over a bump and then touch again.

Returned to the shop today in hopes to find a resolution. There weren't any easy fixes for this. No amount of repositioning the exhaust with the bolts loosened gave enough clearance for the exhaust pipe. The only solution is as suggested in this thread.
The installer even called GTHaus to ask for any suggestions. Their solution? Remove the pipe and clamp the section in a vice until there's enough clearance. This is completely unacceptable from any exhaust manufacturer, never mind one that charges a premium for theirs. I can say without a doubt that the Meisterschaft axle back for the ISF is not worth it.

Agree with the OP that heating it up and denting it should not be the solution for something that expensive. Fitment should be perfect at that price point. The good news is that it appears several people are willing to swap you exhausts, so you have some other options to consider. The JoeZ fits perfectly for what it's worth.
