it seems that with the apex N1 singles that one of two problems develop. either it hits the drive shaft or it hits the seam weld at the rear of the car. in my case it hits the seam weld.

does your exhaust rattle while accelerating/reving or only when you hit bumps? if it is only when you go over bumps you might want to try this before you go out and spend another 350+ dollars. start up your car and let the exhaust warm up completely, maybe driving it for a while. then park it, put on oven mits, grab the tip of the exhaust, and then shake the hell out of it to try to pin point the rattle. since you adjusted the hangers the exhaust may be hitting the frame or something else.

i severely doubt that your muffler went bad from heating up the exhaust hangers. i will bet you anything that mineke was just trying to rip off "another stupid ricer."
