Default Y pipe Hitting Driveshaft!

I recently put a hooker catback on my car and bought a Y-pipe from someone on the board and now my Y pipe is hitting the Driveshaft! has anyone else had this problem? I'm planning on taking it off and trying to bend it down a little so it won't bang.

get the torch out, heat it up, a 2x4 and some buddies. They had to do that on my pace-suckah's LT & ORY to keep it from smacking everything on gods green earth under the chassis.

Fortunately, the mechanic got it str8. pita.

Did you notice a loss of power and fuel mileage after the headers were installed or after the tune-up?
