Top Speed Exhaust (Resonator) vs. Invidia Gemini

Tomorrow I'll be wrapping my exhaust with heat wrap to keep the rubbing down on the bracing. I didn't want to run spacers/ washers for I already have scrap marks

I didn't have this issue till I removed my silencers. I guess all the extra released back pressure caused more flex in the pipes. Only thing I could come up with. Unless the exhaust hangers are wearing some.

hrmm. have you tried to loosen the bolts, then hold it up away from the brace as you tighten it down?

I've beent through 4 exhausts and none of them were hitting the brace.

I've tried it all. This happen on my 350 with the same exhaust also. It's not really an issue though.
