4" Downpipe Rubs Firewall

Hi, does anyone else have an issue with a 4" downpipe rubbing on the firewall? If so how did you go about fixing the issue? It is rather annoying. Thanks

Your best option is to contact the manufacturer of the down pipe.

I Know on my 7.3 I had to take a long prybar and “Bend” the pipe after installed to keep it from rubbing. The downpipes are tight fits for sure.
