Question for you guys with Chris Green 3" DP:
Are there any rubbing issues, rattles etc.? Would it fit directly with stock exhaust or aftermarket CB systems?
Thanks

I installed USP 3"DP with no rubbing issues. I did however have problems during hard acceleration and shifting. I upgraded my Motor mount bushing from energy suspension for $16.00 and that cured that problem.

What kind of problems?

Under hard acceleration and shifting (RACING) the engine would rock back from the torque, causing the DP to smack the heatshield/ crossmember. The stiffer bushings keeps the engine from rocking back. No more wheel hop, better shifting and definetly no more banging from the DP.

I can't comment on install cuz I had Midas do it... but there was some rubbing and hitting... but ONLY when shifting very hard, as One.Eight said. It seems like it has gone away though. I don't think it ever does it anymore... go figure. I bought the energy suspension mounts and will be installing them tomorrow. More for wheel hop than for rubbing issues.
Also, if you're curious about the gains... check out the link to my lame page in my sig. Did some block 120 dynos (before/after).

Mine is ATP and is rubbing like crazy. But I am getitng the bushings ordered today. Hopefully that will fix it.

Most likely went away once the heat sheild got bumped out of the way.

the Forced Motion DP doesn't require bushings, if anyone is interested in one of those, check my sig

I dont get it, how can one company say that you dont need motor mount bushings when a 3" dp is a 3" dp no matter what company makes it.
Is FM styled differently or bent , and is it nothing like ATP's?

When you all are talking about the Energy Suspension bushings, do you mean the bushings on the lower dogbone mount?
I am getting very confused.
