Kurt, Yeah I had them done like Stazi. I had the guy weld the new backing plates to the outside side of the original backing plate. He welded it in a few places to fassen it down. He then drilled through the backing plate and then secured the new aussie brackets to the new backing plate. No more sound at all. If you need it done Monty will do it for $40 too. He is a pro and will do anything from lowering a car to tri duels on a Duratec for cheep. I dont have his phone number but the place is called. Monteys Place in Waterford MI. That seems kind of close to you. I have been yo him for everything. Al my friends get there exhuast done there to. Tell him Joe with the Contour sent you. Hes a cool guy.
