Default Exhaust hitting new subframe connectors

I just got some SLP subframe connectors welded in at Speed Inc, and they did a great job, but, when I drove home I noticed a bad knocking sound. My exhaust is hitting the corner of the passenger side connector in front.

What are my options?
Thanks for the help.

Do what I did and cut the SFC connector.

SLP SBC are overkill anyway it'll work just fine. My is cut so well done it looks like it was designed that way, plus I have LONG LT's.

Congrats on the SLP SBC's I just love them. BTW I tell this to everyone that has them, change your swaybars.

The SLP's cause your chasis to REALLY tighten up this is going to give you oversteer, you can notice a difference during immaturely fast lane changes. I swapped out to Hotchkis Sway bars (35mm front hollow, 25mm rear) and they killed off the oversteer. You can also get adjustable front shocks and then tight the front to make up for a stiffer *** end (I did both).

I just wrapped the SFC tube with a small radiator hose piece. Slit the hose open slide over the tube and clamp it on.

You can do that, or put a couple dents in the y-pipe.
