Exhaust fitting and allignment question
Hi to everyone,
I installed the flowmaster force II exhaust system yesterday and I have a question. From the rear Y-pipe the one pipe is touching the rear end but the other one is 3/8" lower from the rear end. I was wondering if this is going to produce more heat for the rear end since the exhaust is touching it. If yes what should I do to prevent it?
Thank you in advance

it would be better if it didn't touch the rear end.
you can loosen the clamps and hardware, then put a 1/2" piece of plywood between those area's and push it up tight. then retighten the clamps ect.
after its all tightened down and the plywood is removed you should have a 3/8"-1/2" gap.
