Very common problem you may have to do the BFH mod. Or just move the exhaust around until it sits where you want it. Best of luck.

Yup, do a search and you'll find that the majority of people have this problem with it. A search will also find you a couple ways to fix it.

I think that's why alot of guys run the TSP y-pipe. It doesn't seem to have as many problems fitting correctly.

I'm having the same problem right now. I believe switching to the poly(?) motor mounts may help.

I'm haveing the same problem. I put poly mounts in and after about 2 weeks the mounts seem to have "broken in" and its hitting again. I also can't seem to get it to stop leaking. I cant understand how they can make the headers fit like a glove but make such a shitty Y. I'll have to do a search about it but if anyone can give any advice it will be greatly appriciated because I'm really starting to get pissed off with this.
