new poly motor mounts will pretty much solve it...my orp has about 1/4" of clearance with my frame, and doesn't hit.

other option is the band-aid bracket made by mufflex. i think thunder racing sells it for $50 or so.

most of the sponsors should have the mounts too...

I think I had a problem before where a y pipe was hitting the floorboard. I think we just wrapped it up where it was hitting for a temporary solution.
