Default PPE Headers + Aftermarket Midpipe

Read something online about this guy who heard rattling under his car after installing the PPE headers on his RC. Apparently it was because of his Invidia Midpipe? Anyone else experienced or heard of this?

I have an Axelback Invidia exhaust, considering a Midpipe and headers but def don’t want no rattling under the car.

Thanks in advance

Just need to make sure its installed correctly. We've sold headers and midpipes, no issues as long as they're installed without hitting anything.

I have PPE headers and an Apexi mid pipe and it all fits perfect. I previously had an ARK Grip exhaust which was misaligned and would make contact with one of the heat shields. Many others have had great experiences with the ARK though.

Default PPE Headers + Invidia Midpipe

Did some more digging and apparently PPE is aware of the issue. Invidia midpipe and PPE headers are a no go.

Anyone see an issue with connecting my Invidia axel back exhaust to an Apexi midpipe?
