Default Magnaflow Question!?!

Does anyone have Magnaflow and think the tips are too close to the bumber on a WS6? Could it melt the bumper cover or the paint?

Cant really adjust them.?!?

Mine are close. I even drilled a different hole for the rear hanger.

But what is worse IMO is the tips don't stick out far enough so I get carbon on my bumper all the time (ORP)....

Nasty & Firehawk--

Is there a way to adjust them, or are they just close to the bumber normally?

Also, I have a rattle from the cat-back on a cold start, sounds like a heat shield..Any help would be great!

1/2 inch is plenty I adjust them with an old shock bushing about 1/2". As far as the clunk look for the clamp hitting on the trans tunnel brace. I see that ALOT.
