Default Exhaust clearance over MWC 9"

Post up your pix of the exhaust going over the MWC fab 9" housing.

For some reason I had clearance issues with the pipe going over the housing. Ended up banging a dent in the pipe and still need to make it bigger.

I didn't take any pics but want to see others and see why mine hit.

Most all aftermarket rearends are using larger tube OD on the housing, and will require exhaust to be repositioned on occasion. This is especially true if you have adjustable LCAs and opt to move the rearend forward to achieve a wheel that is centered in the opening. Most of the time the over axle pipe can be cheated forward a bit to help this by loosening the clamps in the system and making the necessary adjustments.

Yeah, there wasn't much adjustment in the pipe, but looks like there is plenty of room to move it up and forward to clear the axle just fine and not hit the body. Certainly took the BFH to the pipe.
