exhaust on longtubes clearing trans crossmember

just wondering if there is a way around it or does the exhaust just hang really low or do you grind some of it out of the way or what, putting duals on so just wondering cause I had to beat a pipe in about 2/3 of an inch to get it to fit by it....

The pipe will hang a little lower on that side, and the pipe will need to be bent over more to clear.

take a 4 1/2" grinder to that crossmember lip, and that will solve your problem. We took my little brother's lip on that side down to nothing. It is not going to harm anything, but this could seriously help down the road from rattling/banging. Good luck
