Vrsf v2 downpipes clearence issue?

RuthlessE92 · 10-31-2014, 10:11 AM

I just installed vrsf v2 catless downpipes last week and I've been getting some rubbing issues somewhere mainly when I make slight turns.. I've already went under and rechecked all clearence and it seems fine but that might change while driving. I am running a vishnu exhaust with this setup.

Does anyone else have this problem and know how to stop it?

I will go back under and check again. Which heat shield are you referring to?

Clock the downpipes for more clearance and you may need to adjust the mid pipes for further clearance.

There's a good chance the short pipe was installed incorrectly, just unbolt everything and reclock it away from the sub frame.
