Is it bad if my downpipe hits my ACD?

I installed my downpipe a few weeks ago and it deffinetly rubs agains the ACD (amongst anything and everything else in its path to the test pipe). Is this going to hurt the ACD at all or maybe just the downpipe? I couldnt care less about the downpipe b/c it fits like junk but the ACD I am concerned about.

Thanks.

Yeah I'm curious what DP you are using cause I'm in the market for one...

So you have absolutely no room or you have room and it rubs when driving? Maybe it's rubbing on your crossbars and not the ACD...if so you just need some spacers.

You need to get a new downpipe. A good one this time. And soon.

Just bang a big dent into it and say 'it fits perfectly'

DC is good unless you are using an e-bay o2 housing, then they rub

Buschur, Works, HKS, Tanabe, DC, and AMS all fit great. You should either beat yours with a hammer, or get one of the ones I listed.
