Yes, you can just loosen the Y-pipe bolts, pull it down some to get more clearance and tighten 'em back up. Simple as that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yeah I had the same problem, and it was solved by losening it up and pulling it down enough to clear it, and had the end welded.
