Default Rear diff question

Can someone take a peek at their (or recall from memory) pumpkin and see if the y-pipe rests snuggly against it or if there is a little gap?

When we hung the new exhaust today there was no way to avoid having it do so on my Z - I assume it was that way before but didn't look. I assume it has to as the hangers are all the same and should, well, hang at the same height as before.

TIA

NOpe, it should *not* rest on the diff. There is adjustment in there, just takes some time. What exhaust system do you have?

Replaced it with an OEM stock exhaust from Chevy.

So no gap at all huh? That's rather odd as there just seems to be no way that it won't contact the bottom of the diff. I'm not certain how I'd adjust it so there was gap...the hangers are fixed in how high or low they hang, correct?

Should be about 1/2"-3/4" clearance with no ability to bounce up and hit it over bumps. Pic is not of a stock exhaust, but its mounted and adjusted the way it a stock one should be too.
