Downpipe hitting oil pan
Well I decided to hook up my custom dp to the stock cat to quiet it up as I need to go to work tomorrow .
I struggled but got it bolted up and well...one of the welds is right under the pan and it hits the oil pan during certain times when i accel.
I knew it would be a tight fit(From test fitting) but I thought I would be ok from hitting......
will I be ok like this????????????
I will eventually get it fixed but I totally am not in the mood to do so right at this moment
*fyi , I have no flex pipe on my dp*
i feel it might be under too much stress and will eventually crack.
any thoughts?

Re: Downpipe hitting oil pan (Flamenco-T)
temporary as in how long???? i know thats a dumb question....
so far id say 3 months and ill be ok
im actually more worried about the temp of the dp touching the pan than the tapping.
my old stock pan took a shot from a little boulder(about 6 inches in diameter) and it dented the **** out of it(hit it at like 40 mph) and it held up just fine
