Hi everyone!

Just want to get your experience with aluminum charge pipe and boost pipe. I just installed the FTP Charge pipe and Boost pipe and have a small problem. The car is running smoothly, love it! But when switching to Reverse gear, the car makes some noises as video, which only happens in reversing gear.


My first assumption is that when we switch to Reverse gear, the engine will have more vibration, and the engine will move a little bit. The stock pipes are rubber so they can adjust their form to fit with the movement. But for the aluminum pipes, they don't have that, so they try to keep the engine at its original position so it makes the noise.

Do you have the same experience? Would like to get your advice, thank you so much 🙏

P/S: my car is 520i F10 N20 LCI. It has a catless downpipe, Wagner intercooler, FTP charge pipe and boost pipe. The engine mount was replaced 1.5 years ago.
