Wuz up y'all,
Getting back from Tustin Nissan[service is O.K. and saw my same exact car (superblack 2K)with a body kit, lowered, sitting on some nice 18's-sick! Anybody here?]last Friday, they concluded my "aftermarket" exhaust was hitting my frame! I conceded and asked the service writer to show me, which he did. Sure enough, my Cattman Y-pipe is hitting my frame! It sucks! My rubber hanger snapped and I'm pretty sure it's doing significant damage to the flex section. What little time I was under there I'm pretty sure i noticed the outer layer starting to fray.....Anyways, just wanted to know if anybody else has encountered this and how they went about it. I'm leaning towards just going to a exhaust shop and letting them splice a new flex section in there. I don't want to pull it off, ship it out, then re-install it. Although I might have too if it's going to be costly at a shop. Hopefully I can get a LONGER flex section as well. I feel that's the majority of the problem. Experts: please advise. (O.T. Had one of my motor mounts and coils replaced per TSB's a couple weeks before at Tustin Nissan, car's runnig SOOO much better, slid in there at 35,7??, too bad I'm over 36K now with no extended warranty )

 

If it looks like its a quality issue then I would just send Cattman a nice email explaining what has happened.

 

I had the same problem. The reason the y was hitting the cross-member was because the y-pipe was not perfectly leveled with my cat-back. It was angeled downwards from the cat-back -> Y-pipe. I fixed this by having a muffler shop heat up the y-pipe and bending it upwards a little bit. Now everything is leveled and no more hitting..

 

Nice! Can most muffler shops heat and bend like that? And did you replace the flex section at all? Thx for the info....
