agreed, its going to knock somewhere if its 3" (mine does)

mind you, some suppliers sell it as a 2.75" exhaust. Sure its 3" though

They all have a tendency to rattle unless fettled

I find that I have to spend quite some time to get it right. Undo all the bolts everywhere and twist the rear section until you have clearance everywhere. Bending of brackets is sometimes required

Does it rattle in any specific situation?

My 75mm Blitz Nur SpecR system fitted really well, no rattles at all :D Would recommend it.

My blitz nur rattled. Possibly it depends what hodge podge of components live upstream. In my case much Aussie equipment with non OEM turbo
Even the bespoke H&S rattles if I don't line it up right when swapping downpipes

My Blitz was fitted to an OEM front pipe and cat/downpipe originally then a 3" Hayward & Scott downpipe and front pipe. I outsourced the fitment in each case so maybe that made the difference ;-)

What do you have as a the front section of the exhaust, it doesn't look OEM.

the whole system started off completely standard,even had toyota stamped on the rear tailpipe when they took it off to fit the hks,only mod thats been done was a Hayward and Scott 100 cell race cat that basically is a ss copy of the bottom section of the cat housing,it mated up to the front pipe spot on when i fitted it.The front pipe has all the original heat shielding around it ect so in my opinion i think its as standard as the rest of the system,cars only done 52k so to me it seems about right.
