OK got the pacesetters lt's with y pipe. On the passenger side u can see where its hitting the frame. Sitting in my driveway its not on the frame probably could put 3-4 pieces of paper between it but when the truck turns or is sitting at a weird angle it starts hitting it and it's fuc*king annoying. So what are some methods or options i can do to get it away from the frame

That sucks man.

Try taking a pipe and " tweaking" them maybe ? Or tapping the rubbing spot with a hammer putting a small dent that will clear?

I just installed mine tonight and they fit perfect, no rubbing.

You could also maybe put a wrap or two of header wrap in that area but it will eventually rub thru.

Return them and get another set. They were obviously made incorrectly.

stick a screwdriver in the gap and make the gap wider!! thats what i would do.. i promise you wont notcie a difference.... no one will probably ever even notice... when i put the 80e inn my y pipe was hitting the trans pan.. i pulled the y pipe and beat a flat spot on my y pipe where the trans pan was touching...

i had the same problem.. what i did was loosen up the y pipe bolts and catback bolts.. put a metal sheet between the pipe and frame then re adjusted it kept it for a while and it was fine

yea i figured i would get a crowbar or something similar and try to put a "smooth" dent in it just need a little more clearance and all will be good. Was just wondering what others have done thanks fellas

This is the best thing to do. I've had to do it with my Dynatechs as well. There is no reason to beat on the metal you just paid good money for.

I had the same problem with my obx's! I loosen my tranmission cross member & prided It over as for as I could & retighten the bolts while holding in place! Also check ur transmission mount it could be broken! Oh I also had to side my motor over! I guess after the swap it wasn't sitting right!
