haha, i did that and it lowered the damn exhaust to 2.75" off the ground from 3.50", so i have it up to 3.25" so i can get ground clearance but now it hits. i tried to put a jack under the exhaust hoping to put a dent by the torque arm but that didnt work out lol.

will it cause any kinda problems if it stays against the torque arm for a while? i figured the only problem would be false knock from it but that damn thing is against there good i dont think its gonna move to cause knock lol

I don't see why it would be a problem. Unless annoying rattles occur. I'd get an exhaust shop to cut up the pipe an re-weld that portion so it fits.

check the adjustment on your muffler, that could be off and could possibly throw everything off.

I really think you only have one option. Cut and re-weld.
