megan header issues - Toyota Yaris Forums

his exact words were "retorque to specs" and i couldnt find any specs so i just tightened the bolts. theres a brace on the lower en of the header that i was unable to put back on because the stock bolt didnt fit the megan header. the wonders of aftermarket parts. i think the lack of the brace is whats making it make the vibrating noise. maybe i dunno

You should have gotten all the correct hardware for the install, if purchased from Megan. Seems all the "other" Megan sales people have been getting elsewhere, have had these issues with the hardware.
This may or not be the problem in your case, as I dont know where you got yours from.

The vibration is coming from the heat shield "shell" just above and around the collector area... take your finger and "flick" on edge of the shield, you will make the noise, and see how very flimsy it is.
