Diamond eye exhaust questions

Good evening,


I just put my exhaust on my d250. I haven't heard it on the highway yet, but right off idle it's got a funky low sound. Not sure it's a rattle. Do others experience this?

It's an automatic and the space between the frame and trans line is close.

Oh, I was thinking of putting back my original dodge bellhousing mount. But it's missing the bolt. I'm using a gen rh47. Can some tell me if its metric and maybe a bolt size/length. I think I used the original gen1 hardware which might explain why the bolts were difficult =).

Bracket is low- but I'd feel better with a fwd support at the bell housing.

Maybe some running an fte resonator and muffler can comment on if that off idle noise dissapears??


I think it might be hitting the frame still.

Not sure if it's the same "noise" but mine had a odd sound when the pipe vibrated against the frame. It's tight & I had to keep adjusting. I split some rubber hose to put on the frame edge and added that in there to help.

I have a rattle at idle. Mine is from my loose running boards. Mine also had an odd whistle. Went away after I filed the wire edge off the inside of the tail pipe. I also have a 47RH. All the hardware went right back in its place no problem.

Daylight was kind. Clamp was rubbing only off idle against the shock. No leaks, but I'm going to add the bellhousing mount back.
