well we beat the firewall into oblivion and got the dp to fit. last problem is an easy fix. it is a surperduty dp so the head is bigger since the outlet on SD's was bigger than OBS. plan is Joe will take my new dp and the head from my old one and cut and weld the old head on. then she should bolt right in with the clamp and my rig will be runnin tomorrow. i'll have to take pics if i even remember and post them

yup, well, depending on how bad its hitting, we have plenty of room to remove the whole pipe. after a few days of cruising there should be a rub mark on either the pipe or firewall where it is touching. just bend in that location
