i have the ams tbe w/hfc and the downpipe rubs on the transmission sometimes and the back of the cat pipe touches a bolt for the heat shield. Does anyone elses do this. It doesnt do it all the time though. Should i just get some exhaust wrap to stop the noise from the rub??

 

come on someone answer

 

call AMS?

 

I dont have the AMS tbe but I had the perrin tbe on my evo VIII and it fit fine and than i put it on my IX MR and it hit the tranny, Its no big deal i just beat it in with a hammer a little bit right at the spot it was hitting. Now its fine. good luck

 

Just get a hammer and message it out of the way, no biggie, I removed mine.

 

I would say call AMS. This is probably an issue that only occurs every so often since you don't hear about it happening all the time.

 

Get use to it, it's common when going to a 3 inch pipping. I mean it could be an install problem, but mine rubs and it's a little annoying, but not causing any damage.

 

mine wasnt made for acd, but i still have no rubbing.. just a couple precise whacks with the b.f.h..

 

Get the kartboy exhaust hangars. trust me. it works, My Dc downpipe was rubbing until i changed out my ****ty stock exhaust hangars.

 

if the downpipe is rubbing the trans you most like just need to realign the system.

You cant just bolt it all up and tighten it down, you should loosen it up and readjust it where you want it to line up.

if its a IX you are more then likely rubbing on the bolt for the driveshaft carrier bearing heat sheild. I removed the sheild on mine and bent the bolt out of the way. I have a resonated test pipe so I have even less clearance but after that I had no contact issues of any kind.
