Default My short shifter hits my B Pipe body on my exhaust. Suggestions?

I have a Type One Full Catback exhaust, with a Skunk2 Short Shifter. After I just installed my Type One Exhaust, my shifter hits my B Pip on my Exhaust. Anyone have this problem and any suggestions on fixing it?

either take your b pipe off and heat up the hanger and bend it down a bit, or do what i did, take it out of the hanger, and ty-rap it right beneath the hanger. Yea its ghetto, but hey, it works

I think you are going to ahve to get an adjustable short shifter or a DC.

I recently replaced my DC with a Skunk because the DC was too low in car. The DC had at least an 3/4" more clearance over the exhaust then the Skunk which is now less then 1/4" inch away, but never hits.

i have a no name short shifter with a stock exhaust, and mine hits too. when i drive i can feel the exhaust vibrating, and the shifter stick gets hot. since i'm too lazy to do anything about it right now, i just drive it the way it is. however, i'm going to bend the exhaust hangers to make the exhaust sit lower once i convince myself it's worth the time .

I had the same problem. I just gave up on the short shifter and went back to stock. No more rattles and no worries of breaking the shifter again.

All you have to do is bend the hanger on the b-pipe up, take out the b-pipe and use a hammer to bend it up towards the car, I had the same problem with my skunk2, and this is what I did

I have a TenzoR short shifter and after I installed my Apexi WS, I feel the shifter hitting the b-pipe. I am just going back to my stock gsr shifter(which I got today thanks to "salbaje"). I am a firm believer that short shifters in the long run will ruin your synchros.
