Just noticed how close the top of the catalytic converter is to the body...on the driver's side. Barely 1/4" - 1/3" gap in a couple of spots. Passenger side looks fine. Have any of you had a problem with the floor getting too hot, or any other concerns with clearance on the catted X-pipes?

Click to expand...

I've noticed even with the stock pipe that the floor close to the tranny gets unbearably hot at times... Seems to happen randomly...
