Axle? bearings? something loose? Idk, please HELP!

[ECB7]

Yo fellas, I got my megan header installed today at a shop and when I got my car back for some reason when I step on the clutch its catches just fine but it sounds and feels like it grinds like if I was grinding a gear but on the clutch pedal. It rattles while im driving and it sounds like something around the front left axle is loose. I have no idea what it is and a diagnostics out here people charge just to look at it so I need help if anyone has had this problem before or can ask me some questions of certain shit that happens to see if you guys can help me find the problem.
Thanks in advance.

You need to go out in the morning, jack up the car, and start looking for busted shit.

Its most likely the block mount underneath on the downpipe that they failed to mount.

Personally, if I were in this situation, I wouldn't mount it, another member had that exact spot tear away from the header leaving him 2 holes where the welds were ripped away. It was a Megan header also. The flexpipe is sufficient to handle all the flexing the header experiences.

You might also have to remove the OEM bracket off the block as well since that's the part that protrudes out and is touching the header. I'm thinking they just left that on there and removed the header when they did the install.

Well am I removing the bracket or replacing it? I'm new to this but im afraid if I take it to a shop they'll rip me a new one....Another thing while im driving on the highway and I give more than a quarter of throttle it trembles too...lemme know and remmebr im new to this so break it down if ya'll don't mind, if not it's cool i take what I can get.

you should just remove the stock OEM bracket and toss it out. I've had my exhaust on there for years and don't have any cracked welds or anything of the sort.

That "trembling" could be the exhaust rubbing on the heatshield if you have an aftermarket catback on there. I had to bend some of them up and out of the way to make it clear when it swings from side to side on the hangers.

that's exactly what it feels like, like its rubbing the heatshield. Thanks man I'm going to work on it next week I hope thats all it is and nothing more severe.
