Mysterious rubbing in reverse
 
Hello peeps, I've got a nice and old 2002 2.5rs. I've been running UEL headers and a 3 in catback for a while no problem. Yesterday I decided to add a catless midpipe. I got rid of both cats and slapped on a midpipe with a cherry bomb. Perfect fitment. All of a sudden when I get home and try to reverse in I feel a disconcerting rubbing sound. It only happens when I go to reverse and then as I come off the clutch and accelerate something rubs! Almost like a creaking sound as I come off the clutch. Before I go to my friends lift is there a specific place I should be looking for? Again it only happens in reverse

Check your exhaust bolts/gaskets (rusty? nice n tight?), and hangars. Might need longer/poly versions of those. Shake the pipe around vigorously, see if it hits anything. See if heat shields are hitting anything. That's all I got :noidea:
