Not to sound rude, but it sounds like you didnt "modify" your downpipe correctly to work with this ramhorn mani you installed.

Shorten the downpipe so it does not rub. common sense really.

No vehicle NEEDS a specifically designed piece to fit. Any type of general exhaust piping can be modified to fit correctly.

Custom turbo kits always require some fab work to make downpipes, dumptubes and charge pipes fit correctly... That's just part of it. Either modify your existing downpipe or go to a speed shop and have them fab up a good one for you.

After I ran my ramhorn on my eg hatch a while back my downpipe did the same thing I re ran it but had to cut a small chunk out of the shroud of my radiator fan. We ran it out farther to get a better angle to get under the car so it wouldn't hit the ground.. That was just some back yard cut and weld job
