8.8 kit installed - exhaust clearance

Anyone run an 8.8 with a magnaflow cat back? Mine isn't fitting well. Any other cat backs fit or does the stock system fit?

You may have to dimple the exhaust. I did quite a bit, but that was 3"

Edit: i assume you're talking about where the exhaust goes around the diff

I spent a lot of time under my car wrestling my SW 3" pipes to get it right. Best advice is find a muffler/exhaust shop and have them adjust it for you.

So the Stainless Works will work but it's a pain.

Ya, it is where it goes around the diff. I still have my stock exhaust that I'm tempted to try but it is packed away. Kind of a pain to bring it down to try.

I'll see if there is an exhaust shop open today
