no problem. Picked up the spacer tip from installing a 3" sve exhaust on my 06. You want to talk about fitment issues. I see now why they discontinued that exhaust system302 Hi Pro said:I had installed the same 3.0" MagnaFlow system, with X pipe, I really like this system and I'm happy with the quality of the stainless steel they used. But for the past 10 months, (since I installed the FRPP "T" springs), I fiddled with the left side over the axle pipe as it would hit the body or the KB box steel PB brace. (It was one or the other, depending on how I re-adjusted the pipe to muffler connection)
Then just last weekend I was looking at the muffler hanger rods, and it seemed the L/Side rear inner muffler hanger rod was actually bent inwards at the top by 1.5" or so. I loosened both front and rear OTA pipe clamps and used a 28" crows foot bar to pry back the top of the hanger rod to a straight position. I found the new position of the muffler and inlet pipe allowed me to rotate the OTA pipe that gave me much better body to pipe clearance. Next I fabricated a 1/4" mild steel PB brace body bracket/spacer and installed for better clearance on the bottom of the pipe, and it totally eliminated that occasional bang/ knock sound over bumps and dips in the road.
It's like a new ride! Justin, thanks for posting as I can attest to this fix as it has really made the Boss enjoyable to ride over those occasional bumps and especially those dips in the road. Plus, the tips are now perfectly balanced.
