Might wanna check your factory DS plate. Mine banged for a day. I took the plate off and crimped it in the middle so it hangs a little lower. Hasn't banged since.

But...I changed to a x-pipe system just a couple of days ago and just went ahead and removed the plate.

Hope that helps

Could be back at the intermediate pipe, if the headers aren't angled down far enough, the pipe can hit. I remember someone posting about it before. To change the angle, loosen the header bolts and rotate the headers around the center bolt to line them up.

Mine banged on the driver's side of the Y pipe. I loosened everything then inserted a 2X4 then retightened, then removed the board. I'm also currently using a torque strap which helps alot!
