Megan RSB noise

Does anyone else with the Megan RSB notice alot of creaking after they installed their bar?
I expected it to be stiffer and creak but just wondering what everyone else is experiencing. Everything bolted up fine and nothing seems to be affected in a bad way is just the way the suspension is set up on the Fit. It just seems excessively noisy compared to my other cars I've installed a a RSB on.

I don't have the Megan, I have the Progress RSB and no creaking. Maybe try to loosen the bolts and re-torque everything back to spec?

Thanks, I actually tried loosening everything and retorqing thinking maybe it wasn't tight enough or to loose but nope it still creaks over every freaking bump. I actually happened to watch my wife back into our driveway and noticed that the bar flexes with the suspension over uneven surfaces. Might try to torqe the hell out of it again later. I didn't like the way this thing was designed when I first saw it but I got a deal so picked it up anyway, should have just got the progress instead.

Progress bar here as well...have no idea how the Megan mounts, Progress is pretty clean, awfully close in a couple spots, but no noise whatsoever

I wonder that since it has multiple attachment points, that there is rubbing between the components?

I was thinking the same thing, it's the two endplates bolted to a bar. I'm thinking since it's not just one solid bar like the Progress it ends up flexing which causes it to creak lik a mother f'er. Figured it was cheaper and the blue matched the subframe braces I have on it would look more uniform.
Although it is my wifes car and it doesn't seem to bother her much so I'll probably end up leaving it on. It does do it's job but definitely not as well as the Progress RSB. Have the Progress on my Acura and does it's job well.
