Pipe rubbing on bulkhead?

[TheBreeze]

Anyone else seeing there pipe rubbing on the bulkhead? Already through the heat shield, and getting into the pipe a bit. Sled is not bent up, yet....

My 13 does same thing . I noticed it before it put hole in the heat shield. I cut a piece of rubber hose and put it on the bulkhead not more problems.

It didnt just melt?

When I had my pipe out a few weeks back I didn't realize there was a rubber bumper that sits under the pipe until I got it back in. Maybe check for that? Mine fell off on removal and was sitting in the bottom of the nosecone.

Yeah, that plug is sneaky. Mine rubs with the plug installed.

Try moving the lower spring mount in the picture to the other side of the bulkhead.

I did that to mine to keep the pipe centered on the Y.

Some sleds need a washer or two between the standoff on the pipe and the rubber foot that sits on the bulkhead. Most quality aftermarket pipes come with a few washers for that purpose or at least used to.
