This problem has been going on for a while now, just havent really applied a method to totally fix it. Essentially, the connection between the exhaust manifold pipes are connecting well with the exhaust pipes. Causing me the pipes near the sway bar to be a bit too close. So when they heat up and expand, and Im turning hard, contact occurs.
Last year I removed the cats and elbow from the joining piece to the exhaust to see if I could redo the alignment. The elbow to the cat pipes are seized and wont move. So assuming I'm screwed there?
My next thought is to cut the elbow sections (Blue circles) by .5in to see if I can back the exhaust enough to make the issue go away. Note that the exhaust pipes after the joining pieces are compressed as much as possible right now. I gave them some serious motivation a year ago to get them there. Helped a little, but contact still occurs.
Open to feedback here, or if there are any clever ideas to get the elbows to move again since they are seized.
