The passenger side of the cat back keeps rubbing/hitting the control arm. It also bottoms out of the frame when I go over a large bump. Exhaust includes: mac equal length header, catco catalytic h pipe, mac cat back. I know the catco pipe is junk, but thats besides the point. Everything was fine with the mac off road h pipe, but as soon as I put on the catco pipe, I had no clearance on either side. It bottomed out on both sides of the cat back, and rubbed the control arms on both sides.
I spent a long long time trying to get some clearance, and fiannly got the driver side to clear both the frame and the control arm. No matter what I do, I cant for the life of me get the passenger side to clear. Ive tried, adjusting/removing the h pipe, using a screwdriver as a spacer while i tightened everything up, moved all the rubber bushings on the hangers.
Does anyone else have any tricks? Ive thought about denting the cat back in where it rubs, but I dont wanna mess up a perfectly good exhaust. Ive also thought about griding down the lip of the control arm that its resting on, but I dont wanna ruin what little structural integrity there is in stock control arms.
