Have any of you with the Magnaflow catback had problems with the tips sliding or vibrating out of position? The drivers side exhaust tip slids inward to the point it is almost underneath the rear fairing/skirt/bumper (what ever you call it) I loosen the nut pull it out even with the passanger side (so it sticks out about 1 to 1 1/2 inches tighten it up and 50 miles later it has slid back in. I know I could have it tacked in place, but I would prefer not to have to grind it off to take it appart in the future.
Loose exhaust tip on Magnaflow catback

Have you tried loctite on that little nut?
You can't out smart the magnaflow tips. Just tach weld them!!!! I tried everything and still they would vibrate loose.
My magnaflow tip is either touching the drivers side rear bumper or the acutal tip is rattling against the exhaust pipe.

Loctite works well, and why not just remove the tips?
Well, the other day after it had slipped inward again, I just pulled on it without looseing the nut and it slid out to position, now I have been watching it and it has not moved back. If it does not move again that will be great, otherwise I will have it tack welded into place.
As far as loc-tite goes, the nut does not come loose, so i don't understand how loc-tite would help.

I had the same problem melted a little ... tightened the clamps where they slide on.then put loc tite on the little allen screwand the clamp screw... holding good for me. i might have jinxed myself i bet they just got loose.... it's also a great opportunity to clean the hell out of them when they are off.

You might have a rubbing issue further down the exhuast tubes you don't know about. Prolly hitting or slightly rubbing the gas tank protector or your sway bar.
