Default QTP Y-pipe problem

Besides the fact that it hangs pretty low and would like it to be tucked up higher, the headers or y-pipe I dont know - is hitting something when ever I make a hard left turn while stepping on the gas, the noise hitting sound doesnt occur when I dont hit the gas on the hard left turn. I spoke with NLP (Dudes who installed LTs/Y-pipe) about this and they said it's probably hitting the K-member.

Is there any Shops near me that has experience adjusting 3" Y-pipes and checking out whats hitting beneath the car whenever I make a hard left turn on.

Mike Norris told me about Horsepower Sales in Pompano Beach, it's almost an hour drive

I will never buy another QTP y pipe for as long as I live. The headers tuck nice but the Y pipe is ridiculously low. If you lower your car the Y pipe will literally be 2 inches off the ground, no fun at all.

I really don't feel like driving an hour only to have my y pipe adjusted and see what's hitting my k-member.

Could the average mechanic do this?

Take it to Miami Mufflers south of Kendall. They'll make it tuck up nicely. They do lots of custom work.
Best time to go is first thing in the morning on Saturdays.
